#927 ASA TOP PLAY ON 10* Chicago Cubs -130 over Detroit Tigers, Friday at 7:10 PM ET - The Tigers have won 4 straight games but that has a lot to do with playing a Royals team that has now lost 11 straight games! That said, one should be reminded that Detroit had a 9-24 record on the season prior to sweeping Kansas City. Also, the Cubs had a winning record on the season before they suddenly dropped 3 straight games. This has led to fantastic line value in this spot as one can bet the Cubs at a very short price over a Tigers team that is now getting a little too much respect from the betting markets. This is particularly true when you consider the pitching match-up in this one. The Cubs Jake Arrieta is now back from an injury (cut on thumb of throwing arm) that led to an ugly start against the Reds. Arrieta had entered that start with a 2.57 ERA in five starts! He is likely to be back in top form here after allowing the thumb to heal up. The Tigers counter with winless Tarik Skubal in this one. The Detroit southpaw is 0-5 on the season with a 5.67 ERA and he faces a Cubs team that is 7-3 against left-handed starters this season. This one will be all Cubs per our computer math model. We will grab the road team at a reasonable price on the money line in this one and bet CHICAGO CUBS -130
