Ryan Dempster has pitched admirably in a Cubs uniform and closed strong a year ago as the Cubs won six of his final nine starts. Jair jurrgens is a rising star, but he did not show success vs the Cubs lineup as he was lit up for four runs in just six innings against them last season. There is something about the National League Central that has puzzled Jurrgens. He has pitched the Braves to a woeful 1-11 mark vs the NL Central and always seems to struggle. The Braves are also just 1-6 in his last seven home starts. Like the Cubbies in this one.
