Money Line: 180.00 Philadelphia (Away)
Result: Loss
This is an 8* play on the Philadelphia Phillies.
After falling 8-3 yesterday, we think the Phillies have a pretty good shot at stealing the finale on Sunday night. Jerad Eickhoff has looked brilliant at times and downright terrible in others, but we think that Jake Arrieta continues to be extremely over-rated by the books as they're either slow in recognizing in how far he's fallen off since the middle of last year, or they're trying to continue to feed off the public's image of the player he was two years ago.
Eickhoff: He's 0-2 with a 3.56 ERA. He comes in off a 5-3 loss to the Dodgers, giving up all five runs over 5.2 innings of work. He still owns an impressive 28:11 K:BB ratio over 30.1 innings of work though.
Arrieta: He's 3-1 with a 4.66 ERA. He was most recently blasted for five runs off ten hits over just 4.1 innings in a 5-4 loss to the Red Sox on Friday. The 31 year old has now allowed at least three runs in four straight starts.
The bottom line: Note that Philadelphia is 3-1 (+2.5 units) in its last four against right-handed starters, while the Cubs are just 9-10 (-7.8 units) in the same position this season. The value is way too good to turn down here, play on PHILADELPHIA.
