Chicago Cubs vs. San Francisco Giants preview, Sunday 6/14, 2:10 CT
The Cubs’ Sunday preview centers on Chicago’s plan to open with left-hander Ryan Rolison against San Francisco’s left-handed-heavy lineup at Oracle Park. Rolison will be followed by Colin Rea as the bulk pitcher after a scoreless inning against the Giants last weekend and a short outing vs. the Rockies last Thursday. Left-handed hitters have batted just .182/.263/.182 against Rolison this year, with 13 strikeouts in 33 plate appearances. Rea’s three previous starts as the bulk arm suggest a steady, mid-inning workload, marked by a 3.57 ERA and six innings in each outing, though the Giants have hit him well in small samples (16-for-32, .500) with four homers. Logan Webb, San Francisco’s top starter, owns a 3.88 ERA but has posted 0.90 over his last three starts, with 19.1 innings and no homers allowed. Key matchups also stand out, as Ian Happ is 5-for-14 with a homer against Webb and Dansby Swanson has two homers in 14 career at-bats. The Sunday game is scheduled for 2:10 p.m. CT at Oracle Park and will be broadcast on ABC, with streaming on the ESPN App and commentary by Jon Sciambi, David Ross and Buster Olney.
