Doug Davis Pitch Mix vs. Cubs

Following up on the main preview post, this time with Doug Davis. The Cubs haven't faced a lefty starter in a while. He throws a "fast"ball (86mph) but relies on a cutter (83). He really hammers the cutter if you have an unusual first name, such as "Aramis".

Davis is known for his curveball, a big breaker that's usually under 70 mph. He rounds it out with a change-up - if it's thrown well, it's about 7 mph under the fastball. Some games, I noticed it could be just 3 or 4 off the heater, which is just about useless. It does tail and sink a little bit, though.
