I will fade Jason Hammel here tonight who posts a 3-0 record and a 0.75 ERA, but he has been a little lucky and his ERA is bound to come back to where it should be (around 4.00) according to his raw stats. He's walking over 3 guys per 9 and has a 4.35 ERA over his last 4 outings vs. the Pirates.

Gerrit Cole meanwhile has pitched better with a 2.88 ERA in 9 career starts vs. the Cubs. Cole has similar stats, but better overall control and has held Cubs hitters to .676 OPS over 107 AB.

Where to find Freddy?
