The set-up: If you don't mind laying chalk, I think the Cubs do in fact offer great value to bounce back here with their "ace" on the mound. Yu Darvish has a 2.40 ERA with 211 K's and only 21 walks over 157 2/3's innings since the 2019 All-Star Break. Darvish has struggled in the playoffs in the past, but the veteran enters here on top form and I think he can easily get the better of his rookie counterpart today.

The pick: Sixto Sanchez is only 22. The Marlins won the first game of this series 5-1, but a predictable letdown is imminent in my opinion. Chicago is still 13-2 SU the last 15 in this series at home and I expect the Cubs to respond and send this series to a decisive Game 3!

This is a 1* FREE PLAY on the Cubs.
