Result: Win
This is a 6* BIG-CHALK DESTRUCTION on the Chicago Cubs.
Sometimes a favorite is a favorite for a reason and in this particular case, we absolutely believe that Jon Lester and the hard-hitting home side could/should easily be even larger favorites in this one.
Lucas Sims: He's 2-4 with a 4.41 ERA. Sims most recently gave up four runs off eight hits over 6.1 innings in a loss to the Phillies on Monday. Sims has been decent in his limited time, but note that he's just 1-3 with a 5.40 ERA on the road.
Lester: He's 8-7 with a 4.37 ERA. Lester returns to the rotation, out since August 17th. He threw a 50-pitch bullpen session on Wednesday and has been cleared to go. In six starts prior to landing on the DL he posted a 3.26 ERA and elite 0.93 WHIP.
The bottom line: Lester has the track record and pedigree to finish up strong. Sims draws an extremely tough matchup on the road against a team desperate for as many wins as possible. We're laying the price with confidence, play on the CUBS.
