9 OUT OF 10 CONSENSUS on the Cubs.

While we do feel an outright win is possible, in the end we're going to lay this very reasonable price for the extra 1.5 runs of insurance. The Cubs won't be taking the foot off the gas now with a chance to win their first raod series in nearly two months. The Padres continue to struggle in many facets, but especially at home. Kyle Hendricks gets the nod for the visitors and he's 0-1 with a 3.86 ERA after making his second start after returning from surgery, allowing one run over five innings in a home victory over Tampa: "I felt much more like myself," Hendricks said. "It tells me that I can just do what I do. Get back to being myself again." Hendricks has to be feeling confident here, as he's domianted the Friars throughout his career, going 8-2 with a tiny 2.61 ERA in 13 starts vs. them. Blake Snell is an unremarkable 1-6 with a 4.50 ERA for the Padres. He's 1-1 with a 1.06 ERA in three career starts vs. the Cubs. But in a contest which we see being decided late, or perhaps even in extras, the savvy call is indeed to grab the visiting side on the RUNLINE option (CUBS.)

Good luck, TIR
