Chicago has to have this game to avoid elimination after losing 5-1 to the Marlins in a Wednesday game that featured a three-run homer by Corey Dickerson. The Cubs will rely on Yu Darvish in today's matchup, and he comes off seven shutout innings against the White Sox on Sept. 25. Darvish was 8-3 overall with a 2.01 ERA in the regular season with a .211 opponent batting average. Miami hitters have a combined .174 batting average against Darvish. Rookie right-hander Sixto Sanchez will start for the Marlins, who he made his Major League debut on Aug. 22 and got off to a good start. However, he has allowed nine runs his last seven innings against Washington and Atlanta. Chicago has won nine of the last 11 meetings and 16 of the last 21 meetings at Wrigley Field. Take the Cubs.
