Rickenbach MLB *10* Chicago Cubs Money Line -116 @ LA Dodgers @ 8:05 ET - The Cubs need their ace to step up here and that is exactly what should be expected. With yesterday's 5-2 loss to the Dodgers being their fourth straight, the Cubs turn to Jake Arrieta for a huge performance. The Cubs last victory was with him on the mound and he's 10-1 with a 1.94 ERA on the road this season. Overall, the Cubs have gone 12-2 in his road starts this season. Arrieta has a ridiculously miniscule 0.54 ERA in his five starts in the month of August. The Dodgers haven't faced him in two years so this is a big edge for the right-hander. Arrieta has allowed just 12 earned run in his last 14 starts! He's been simply phenomenal and is a great value at the short road price he's being offered at on Sunday. This is especially true when one considers whom he's facing in this one. Arrieta will be opposed by Dodgers southpaw Alex Wood in this one. The young lefty is 3-3 with a 4.89 ERA and 1.61 WHIP in home starts this season. He's walked 12 batters in his last 4 starts even though those outings have spanned just 22 and 2/3 innings of work. Wood struggled against the Cubs last season when he faced them in July as a member of the Braves. He also faced Arrieta in that game and the result was a loss for Wood. The Cubs are 16-7 this season in road games with a posted total of 7 runs or less. They get back on track with their ace on the hill tonight. Play the Chicago Cubs on the Money Line as a *10* Top Play Sunday.
