Money Line: -165.00 Chi Cubs (Home)
Result: Loss
This is an 8* play on the Chicago Cubs.
Pittsburgh took yesterday's game 8-7, but we think that the defending champs bounce back here behind what we feel to be the vastly superior starter backing it.
Jameson Taillon: He's 0-0 with a 1.38 ERA. Most recently he gave up two runs off four hits and a walk in a no-decision agsint the Reds on Tuesday. Taillon has been decent in the early goings, but we'll point out that if he did have one weak point last year, it was his play on the road as he'd go on to post a pedestrian 4.26 ERA away from friendly confines.
Jon Lester: He's 0-0 with a 1.64 ERA. He's also coming off a no-decision, giving up one run off four hits while striking out seven in what turned out to be a 3-2 win for Chicago over the Dodgers. The veteran has now given up just two runs while striking out 14 over his first 11 innings of work.
The bottom line: The sky is the limit for Taillon, but we feel he's in way over his head here. We're giving the big nod to Lester in this one and like the Cubs to answer after yesterday's close defeat. Lay the price, play on CHICAGO.
