Cubs vs Rays: Pitching Showdown

The Chicago Cubs face the Tampa Bay Rays in an interleague matchup, both teams at 4-5 early in the season. The Rays, who have played all their games on the road, will host their home opener at Tropicana Field. The Cubs, fresh off a series against the Angels and Guardians, will face Rays starters Shane McClanahan and Drew Rasmussen. The Rays defense has been shaky, but speedster Chandler Simpson could cause trouble on the bases. The Cubs have a poor record against the Rays, with only 25 meetings total. The series begins Monday at 3:10 PM Central, with Jameson Taillon facing McClanahan. The Cubs will have a day off on Thursday before hosting the Pirates on Friday.
