The set-up: I think Mike Montgomery and the visiting side have the advantage on the road in this one. The home side sends Joe Ross to the hill to counter.

The teams: Montgomery is so far 4-5 with a 3.85 ERA. His last start was skipped over due to a rain-out, so he comes in extra rested. Montgomery hasn't been perfect this year, but note that he's posted a very respectable 3.13 ERA on the road to this point.

Ross is so far 0-0 with a 0.00 ERA. He re-joined the rotation after being out since July 2017 with Tommy John surgery, but his debut was cut short after just 1.2 innings because of rain.

The pick: Ross looked decent in his re-hab, but clearly he draws a tough opponent here. Montgomery can take advantage and I think the southpaw will do just that. Great spot to pull the trigger on the visitors. Play on the Cubs.
