4* Money Maker
(MLB) Chi Cubs vs. Houston,
Money Line: 120.00 Houston (Home)
Result: Loss
Taking the ASTROS here. This line drops while the public still drops money on the Cubs and Lester. This isn't a knock on either. Cubs should be World Series bound. Lester has a 1.85 ERA since the break. He is 15-4 2.61 ERA on the year. But he hasn't been as dominate on the road. A 3.40 ERA isn't ugly by any stretch, but he can be hit. Let's not sell Houston short. This is another young, good ball club. Joe Musgrove is a youngster who clearly likes pitching at home. Totally different splits. A .54 ERA in 3 games with a .78 WHIP and .188 BAA with 21Ks in 16 an a third innings. Both teams have dropped 2 straight coming into this series. Cubs 7-3 L10, 'Stors 6-4. But Houston is 6-2 last 8 at home in the series. 4* Money Maker HOUSTON ASTROS
