This is an 8* SITUATIONAL DESTRUCTION on the Chicago Cubs.

REASONING: Is Clayton Kershaw a better pitcher than Kyle Hendricks? The answer is obviously "yes." Has Kershaw been a better pitcher than Hendricks this season? We'd say "no" to that one. Kershaw's and Hendricks' regular season records are very similar, but the Dodgers' ace missed a couple of months with injury. Hendricks has been rock solid from start to finish and he's been particularly good at home. Our point being, of course Kershaw will go down in history as a better pitcher than Hendricks, but at this exact moment in time, we're going to call the two a "wash" today. So then the focus shifts to other factors, like momentum. We've always been of the thought that "momentum" can be a very tangible factor in the postseason and in our opinion, clearly the hard-hitting Cubbies have it back on their side after back-to-back break-out performances at the plate. This one's a no-brainer for us as we feel that Hendricks and surging CHICAGO offer tremendous value at home this evening.
