The Chicago Cubs face the New York Yankees today, July 31, at 1:20 PM CT at Wrigley Field. A victory would elevate the Cubs to 16 games above.500 for the first time this season. The Cubs have performed well lately, going 10-2-1 in their last 13 series but have struggled at home, with a 3-2-1 record during that span. Starting pitcher Shōta Imanaga has been impressive, maintaining a recent scoreless streak, while Yankees pitcher Will Warren looks to rebound after a tough outing against the Phillies.
