First pitch from Minute Maid Park is scheduled for 2:10 PM ET, with the game being televised on WGN and AT&T SportsNet. The game can also be viewed on the MLB streams subreddit.

Cubs lineup

The Cubbies send an injury-depleted lineup onto the field against the Astros, but that does not mean it is not a dangerous one. Highlighted by Javier Baez (.317 average, 13 home runs) and Willson Contreras (.320 average, 12 home runs), the Cubs will look to hit the long ball in the hitter friendly confines of Houston. Both Kris Bryant and Jason Heyward have been ruled out following Sunday's collision.

Cole Hamels takes the ball for the Cubs in this one. Hamels has yet to lose a game this season, going 4-0 with a 3.38 ERA, turning in a performance that has been among the many surprises this season.

Astros Lineup

The Astros are without George Springer and Jose Altuve due to injuries and Carlos Correa will also not be in the lineup as he has been given the day off by manager A.J. Hinch. It is a rather subpar lineup for the Astros, who have to rely heavily on Alex Bregman (.262 average, 15 home runs) to carry the weight offensively.

Gerrit Cole is the man on the mound for Houston, as he hopes to turn around what has been a disappointing start to the 2019 season which has seen him go 4-5 with a 4.11 ERA.
