Colin Rea has pitched very well for the Chicago Cubs, but his two best starts came against an 8-18 Philadelphia Phillies team. He ranks 26th among today’s projected starters in soft contact rate. He’s not generating much. That’s not a great recipe heading into a matchup with the Los Angeles Dodgers, who rank first in hard-hit rate against righties this season. He doesn’t miss many bats, and that could lead to problems against a powerful Dodgers offense. Make the play on the LA Dodgers.
