There are few better traditions in baseball than a summer Friday game at Wrigley Field.
The Blue Jays and Cubs face off Friday afternoon at Friendly Confines exclusively on Apple TV+, home of Friday Night Baseball.
Chicago is still trying to fight its way back into the NL wild-card race and is hoping its offense can get back into shape. First baseman Michael Busch (.806 OPS with 16 HR) and outfielder Seiya Suzuki (.814 OPS with 16 HR) have been the mainstays of the unit lately.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. remains an exceptional bright spot for Toronto. The star first baseman is in top form: Since May 1, he has hit .351 with an OPS of 1.030 and has once again established himself as one of the best hitters in baseball. Since the All-Star break, Guerrero has hit ten home runs.
Veteran right-hander Kyle Hendricks will try to tame Guerrero and the Blue Jays’ lineup, while young pitcher Yariel Rodriguez will get the ball for Toronto.
