This is a 10* SIDE OF THE WEEK on the Chicago Cubs.
The bottom line: One of these starters has dominated all year and could have an argument made for him that he's been the best in the entire league, while the other has struggled with consistency since the start. We look for the visitors to take advantage of this favorable pitching matchup.
Kyle Hendricks: He's 14-7 with a 2.07 ERA. He most recently gave up one run over six innings to go along with six strikeouts in a victory over the Brewers. Hendricks' ERA now sits a 0.99 and he'll be looking to improve upon his sparkling 2.04 ERA in all night contests.
Mike Leake: He's 9-9 with a 4.61 ERA. He returned from the 15-day DL and gave up three runs off nine hits over four innings in a no-decision against the Pirates on Wednesday. Note that he's 2-5 with a 4.57 ERA in all home games and 6-9 with a 5.05 ERA in all night contests.
The bottom line: For arguments sake, let's call these explosive line-ups a "wash." Clearly Hendricks has the upper-hand on the mound and that's more than enough for us to pull the trigger on the visitors today. Play on CHICAGO.
