#929 ASA PLAY ON Chicago Cubs -135 over Seattle Mariners, Saturday at 9:40 PM ET - The Mariners have won B2B games but they were previously 4-8 on the season and they are hitting just .207 this season. Seattle (excluding extra innings runs) had scored only 30 runs in 12 games (2.5 per game) in the dozen-game stretch prior to yesterday's 4-2 win over the Cubs. Chicago is off B2B losses but this was on the heels of a 7-2 stretch in which the Cubs averaged 7.3 runs scored per game. They have been the much stronger team at the plate this season compared to the Mariners. Also, Chicago has yet to lose 3 straight games this season and Seattle has yet to win 3 straight games this season. We like the odds here in our favor of a Cubs bounce back as they also have the pitching edge here. The Mariners send Emerson Hancock to the mound and the Cubs have Shota Imanaga on the mound. Hancock has made 5 starts at the MLB level and he has a 7.40 ERA and has allowed 28 hits in 20.2 innings! Imanaga was a huge off-season signing for the Cubs and, as was hoped for by the Chicago faithful, he has been phenomenal so far! Two starts and 12 strikeouts and only 4 hits in 10 innings! Look for him to dominate the struggling Mariners lineup. The road team bounces back here. Cubs get the win this evening
