## Resource

The Cubs head to Miami for a pivotal three-game series against the Marlins, with both teams battling for playoff positioning. Chicago sits second in the division at 79-62, riding strong road performance and a solid pitching staff, while Miami trails at 71-70 but boasts a fiery home record. Power hitters like Heriberto Hernandez and Pete Crow-Armstrong lead their respective lineups, but injuries plague both squads — including key Cubs’ absence of Dansby Swanson. With Shota Imanaga facing Janson Junk in Game 1, this series could shape the postseason race. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
