The 22-year-old rookie will make the 5th start of his career coming off a very impressive 8-strikeout performance against a very solid Padres lineup that does not strike out all that much. Tong had elite numbers in the minors before the call-up and struck out an absurd 179 batters across 113.2 innings of work. While his results have been somewhat up and down, the strikeouts have stayed consistent, as he has now struck out 6 or more in 3 of his 4 starts. There is a slight concern with how deep the Mets will actually let him go, but they have allowed him 96 or more pitches in 2 of his 4 starts, and he has put up impressive strikeout numbers even in games where he’s only pitched 5 innings. Tong is rocking some reverse splits in his early career, but that will work to his benefit, turning any switch hitters around to bat left handed. The Cubs’ top offensive threats at this point are also LHH. Tong is holding them to a line of .112/.283 while striking them out 27% of the time this year.
