NL GAME OF THE WEEK! 10-1 TOP SELECTIONS!
(MLB) Arizona vs. Chi Cubs,
Money Line: -137.00 Chi Cubs (Home)
Result: Loss
Two fine starters face each other when the D-backs meet the Cubs in Chicago on Saturday. We may not see much of either bullpen as these two pitchers can throw for length as well as success. Steele has been rock solid this season but especially when pitching at home, where he is 12-2. What has he done lately? Just 14 innings pitched, zero runs allowed and twenty K's in his last two starts. Arizona's Merrill Kelly has been almost as good lately, but if I have to nit-pick, his ERA is about a run worse on the road and he has not been quite as effective in day games. The Cubs have an edge on offense lately, but really, this game is all about the starters. A Wildcard spot could be at stake, and the Cubs, after a pair of losses to the D-backs, with be just a bit hungrier. It is hard to argue with Steele at home. Take the Cubs to win a close one.
