(MLB) Cincinnati vs. Chi Cubs,
Money Line: -159.00 Chi Cubs (Home)
Result: Loss
Money Line: -159.00 Chi Cubs (Home)
Result: Loss
The set-up: I think this one highly favors the home side. The Reds send the volatile Anthony DeSclafani to the hill, while the Cubs hand the ball to Kyle Hendricks.
The pitchers: DeSclafani (2-2, 4.60 ERA) gave up three home runs and lasted only four inning for a second consecutive start in a loss to the Dodgers in his last outing. Over his previous two starts DeSclafani has now been shelled for eight runs off 14 hits, including four dingers.
Hendricks (4-4, 3.21) has gone 4-1 with a 2.53 ERA over his last 42 2/3's innings of work.
The pick: Take it for what you will as well, but Cincinnati is still just 7-13 as a road dog this year, while Chicago is 15-6 as a home favorite. I think Hendricks is the correct call. I'm laying the price.
Chicago Cubs.
