  • Sheets has pitched against the Cubs 24 times with a 10-7 record. 
  • He has pitched 155.2 innings against us, which is the third most only to the Astros where he has pitched 172 innings and STL where he has pitched 156.1 innings. 
  • Sheets E.R.A. vs. the Cubs is 3.76 and he has let up 21 HR to the Cubbie franchise. 
  • According to his past, Sheets is most vulnerable during the 4th inning, allowing batters to hit .284, which is the most compared to any other inning. 
  • He has a 3.51 ERA at home compared to a 3.98 ERA away in his career. 
  • Now everybody seems to always talk about lefty v. righty and its importance, but in Sheets career there isn't much of a contrast.  Against RH batters he is letting up a .254 BA compared to LH batters hitting .258!
