Almost ALL the data that's being thrown up here is from different teams under different management and in different years...In Volquez' experience, he probably wasn't playing with a team that was coming off a 4 game losing streak where they only managed to score 6 runs...
Arrieta is a much more disciplined pitcher...He's at home...His Bullpen has a much smaller WHIP...Joe Maddon's the manager...
Both are good daytime pitchers but Arrieta's got slightly better numbers...
I know the Cubs are only 4 wins in last 10 but their overall home record is in the plusses and three of those losses were 0ne-run games...
The Cubs' advantages here are slight but they only need to win by one run...Sure wish I knew who the ump was....
Cubs... ( I REFUSE TO KNOWINGLY GET BURNED AGAIN BY A TEAM WHOSE CONSISTENTLY LOSING MONEY FOR ME..KC that is) I would accept a Cubs loss a little better but IMO that ain't gonna happen...BOL guys
