THE INSIDERS ROOM'S SITUATIONAL PITCHING MISMATCH (CHALK PLAY) ~ OFF ANOTHER SWEEP!
(MLB) Miami vs. Chi Cubs,
Money Line: -178.00 Chi Cubs (Home)
Result: Push
This is a 6* SITUATIONAL PITCHING MISMATCH on the Chicago Cubs.

Miami won the series opener 5-1, but I think that the Cubs will deliver and respond in Game 2, making this price that I have no issues at all in laying.

I love Yu Darvish (8-3, 2.01 ERA) in this matchup over Marlins' rookie Sixto Sanchez (3-2, 3.46).

This is a big game for the Cubs and it's a huge personal game for Darvish, who has struggled in the playoffs throughout his career and also inexplicably against Miami.

But that was then and this is now. Darvish is on a mission this season and I expect him to step up and deliver over his younger counterpart.

Expect the Cubs' bats to respond after an atypical showing yesterday as well.

This line could/should in fact be a lot larger in my opinion. Lay the price, the play is the CUBS!

Good luck, NP
