I'm sure by the end of the season the Rays will have a much better record than the Cubs. But right now Tampa Bay doesn't deserve to be such a large road favorite against the Cubs.

The Rays are 2-5 in their last seven games. The Cubs are back home for the first time since their opening series against the Brewers when they took two of three.

The pitching matchup is Shane McClanahan versus Kyle Hendricks. I like McClanahan, but not enough to back him in this spot with the Rays not playing well.
