Pfaadt is pretty solid.  He's on a heater since he got back from the minors, but mainly it's batted ball luck that he'd been deprived the last few years.  He's still mostly the same guy: a mid-rotationy starter that generally can't be trusted to face the lineup a 3rd time through.

Cubs should still be favored with Holmes on the mound, but it's not as lopsided as yesterday.

Crazy that Bregman is up to a 115 wRC+ and 3.7 fWAR(2nd highest on the offense) now. He's more or less on pace to match his 2023 and 2024 seasons despite that horrendous first half.
