 Ozzie Albies has a career batting average of .491 in 13 games against the Cubs, his highest against any single opponent that he's faced at least four times.

 Javier Baez leads all major league players with a slugging percentage of .761 after falling behind in the count 0-2, with a minimum of 20 qualifying plate appearances. Nine of Baez's 19 home runs have come after falling behind 0-2.

 Dallas Keuchel and Yu Darvish are scheduled to start against each other on Wednesday, reigniting a rivalry they had when playing for Houston and Texas, respectively.
