Chicago Cubs

The World Baseball Classic is finally here! The Chicago Cubs will host Team Canada in an exhibition game on Wednesday as they prepare for their WBC group stage games. 

It's a nice change of pace for the Cubs and their fans and playing against a national team during MLB Spring Training is a unique opportunity that only rolls around once every four years. 

Chicago is putting their best foot forward against Canada and pulling no punches with their lineup on Wednesday. Additionally, Justin Steele will take the mound for the Cubs in hopes of putting a new notch in their belt for bragging rights.

First pitch is scheduled for 2:05 p.m. CST.

If you are in the local Chicago market the game will be televised on the Marquee Sports Network. You can also watch it on fuboTV with a free trial by signing up here!

Additionally, you can listen to the game on the MLB app.

Here are how the Cubs will line up against Canada:

Nico Hoerner 4

Dansby Swanson 6

Ian Happ 7

Trey Mancini 9

Cody Bellinger 8

Eric Hosmer 3

Patrick Wisdom 5

Edwin Rios DH

Tucker Barnhart 2

Steele 1

It's a lineup very similar to one that could be rolled out on Opening Day. Don't miss out!
