CHC SP Kyle Hendricks is the tale of two halves. He got roughed up to start the year and was demoted to the bullpen because of it. He returned to his starter role on June 19th and has allowed 3ER or less in 5 of 6 starts and 2ER or less in 4 of them. He has a 3.23 ERA in July and surrendered 3ER over 5IP at Home against Arizona his last time out. He was burned by a couple long balls and that's generally how he struggles. He was at Wrigley with the wind blowing out his last time but he's in a great park to help neutralize his struggles tonight. The Royals ballpark ranks hitter friendly due to its size but Kaufmann Stadium's tied 24th with a HR Rating of 85 (100 average). He's combined to pitch 19.2 innings allowing just 5ER in his last 3 full starts without allowing a HR.
KC SP Brady Singer has a 2.43 ERA at Home and a 2.48 ERA over his last 7 starts. He fired 7 scoreless in his first start out of the break and allowed 1ER exactly in 4 of his last 5 starts leading up to it. It's been a career year for Singer thus far and with this being an interleague game the Cubs have very few prior at bats against him. Both teams had the night off yesterday, allowing their bullpens to reset.
