Games of the Day

Thursday features just four games, but two of them have playoff implications. Miami plays the Mets with Jose Urena facing Jacob deGrom. Urena increased his strikeouts and cut down on his hits allowed compared to 2015, but saw his poor ERA rise from 5.25 to 5.83. deGrom posted a 4.45 ERA in August, despite good strikeout and walk numbers. He allowed a .391 BA with men on base, however.

The Giants travel to Chicago to take on the Cubs. Jeff Samardzija battles Mike Montgomery. This is the second time Samardzija faces his former team, and the first time at Wrigley field. The Cubs lit him up as a starter for the White Sox last season. Montgomery makes his third start for Cubs, with one good start and one not so good.

Enjoy!
