ASA top play on 10* UNDER 8.5 Chicago Cubs @ New York Yankees, 1:35 PM ET - Granted the Yankees are one of the highest scoring teams in the league at 4.90 runs per game but the Cubs are 18th at 4.29 runs per game and this situation warrants an Under wager. It all starts with the pitchers slated to take the bump here with Keegan Thompson for the Cubs and Jameson Taillon. Taillon is 6-1 on the season with 62.2 innings pitched and in three of his last four starts he’s gone 7 or more innings. He has a season ERA of 2.73 and has allowed more than 3 runs just one time this season which was his last outing so expect a focused effort here. What makes Taillon especially hard to score runs on is his base-on-balls percentage of .86 which is one of the better averages in the Big Leagues. The Cubs will counter with Thompson who is also 6-1 on the season with an ERA of 3.17 and WHIP of 1.14. Chicago has really struggled to score runs of late averaging just 2.2 runs per game in their last five games and hitting just .092 with runners in scoring position. Over the course of 3-games, the Cubs currently have the worst team hits per run scored 5.25. At that current rate, if the Cubs get their average hits per game of 8.16 they’ll score under 2 runs in this one. We like a lower scoring game here. Bet UNDER.
