10* SUNDAY NIGHT SHOWDOWN *11-3 ALL PICK L5 DAYS AND 46-23 +$14K MLB YTD*
(MLB) Milwaukee vs. Chi Cubs,
Money Line: -135.00 Chi Cubs (Home)
Result: Win
Money Line: -135.00 Chi Cubs (Home)
Result: Win
The set-up: The Cubs rallied to win 2-1 in 15 innings last night and I believe they'll find a way to get the job done here on Sunday night as well. The visitors hand the ball to Jhoulys Chacin, while the home side counters with Jon Lester.
The pitchers: Chacin (3-3, 5.03 ERA) gave up two runs over five innings in a no-decision vs. the Nats on Monday. Chacin is just 1-3 with a 7.50 ERA on the road.
Lester (2-1, 1.41) gave up two runs off eight hits with no walks while striking out six over six innings in a win over the Marlins on Tuesday. Since returning from the DL Lester has given up just one earned run over 18 innings of work.
The pick: Considering the talent discrepancy on the mound, this is considered the very definition of "great line value" in my books. Lay the short price.
