This is a 5* BIG-CHALK CHOKE-OUT on the Chicago Cubs.
For the most part MLB handicapping comes down to the starting pitching and in this case, we feel that Kyle Hendricks has a major advantage over his suspect counterpart, so much so that it makes this a price in which we have no issues at all in laying. In fact, all things considered we feel this line could in fact be a lot larger.
Hendricks: Hendricks comes in off a career camapign in 2016, finishing 16-8 with a 2.15 ERA. He dominated in his final spring tune up, giving up two hits and no runs over five innings against Houston on Friday. Note that he was particularly sharp in all "night" games last season, finishing with a tiny 1.83 ERA over 12 such instances.
Tommy Milone: He struggled this spring with a 9.69 ERA and 2.00 WHIP in 13 innings. The only reason Milone is in the starting lineup is because of an injury to Junior Guerra. Note that Milone owned a poor 5.65 ERA in all home games last year.
The bottom line: Sometimes a favorite is a favorite for a reason. Hendricks has the Cy Young on his mind this year, while Milone is destined to get the hook early in this one. Lay the price, play on CHICAGO.
