It’s raining so hard that coach Mike Borzello stopped his daily run. But indications are that Braves-Cubs will play as scheduled tonight pic.twitter.com/tPY981qAzL

Lester batting ninth tonight. First two AB’s yesterday for Hamels, in the 8-hole, came with runners on and two outs. Perhaps it swayed Maddon the other way?

The MLB season is roughly half finished, yet only five teams are within 5.5 games of first place in their division --and four play in the NL Central. Crazy.
