A common theme for me is to find whenever Miles Mikolas is pitching and fade him. The Cubs' offense isn't going to be the problem this season, and I expect Cade Horton to receive plenty of run support.

Bryan Woo was one of Seattle's better pitchers last year, and he comes into this one with two solid spring training outings under his belt. I'm banking on pitching being the difference in this game.

EV Model Rating
Star rating: 3 out of 5
The leading projection system (THE BAT X) expects Bryan Woo to be limited today, projecting a maximum of 81 pitches.. Because of his large platoon split, Bryan Woo encounters a tough challenge going up against 7 batters in the projected lineup of opposing handedness in today's outing.. It may come as a surprise, but fastballs are typically a pitcher's least effective pitch. Bryan Woo has relied on his fastball a lot since the start of last season, though: 72.8% of the time, checking in at the 100th percentile.. Considering the 0.56 deviation between Bryan Woo's 9.55 K/9 and his 8.99 estimated true talent K/9 (via the leading projection system, THE BAT), it's safe to say he's been one of the luckiest pitchers in MLB since the start of last season when it comes to strikeouts and ought to perform worse going forward.
