This is an 8* TOP PLAY on the Chicago Cubs.
REASONING: We think Jon Lester has a slight edge over counterpart Corey Kluber and we also believe that Chicago has the advantage at the plate. The visitors offer great value in Game 1. Lester has given up two runs over 21 innings, giving him a sparkling 0.86 ERA in the postseason. Lester has also dominated the Tribe over his career, going 7-1 with a 3.03 ERA over 95 innings of work. Lester also has a major advantage in the experience department, as he'd post a 3-0, 0.43 ERA World Series record while with the Red Sox. And as mentioned off the top, the Cubbies' big bats are once again firing on all cylinders as the team would plate 23 runs in the last three games of the NLCS. Kluber has so far tossed 13.1 scoreless innings in two home starts in the postseason. Kluber has also had success against Chicago, but note that Cleveland averaged just 2.4 runs per game in the ALCS, compared to Chicago's 6.2 runs per game in six games in the NLCS.
The bottom line: Lester gets the slight nod on the mound, Chicago gets the big nod at the plate and with those two crucial factors on our side, there's no question in our minds that the value in Game 1 is on the visitors. Play on the CUBS.
