2025 MLB predictions: Cy Young, ROY, Could both New York teams miss the playoffs?

Impact McCarthy got the start over Alek Thomas with the Cubs throwing left-hander Justin Steele in Thursday's season-opener. McCarthy and Thomas will share the position and, since both bat from the left side, it shouldn't be described as a platoon. Patterns should develop in time, and there is a role for Thomas' glove, which is considered better than McCarthy's defense.
