Stephen Nover's MLB Wednesday Top Ticket
(MLB) Tampa Bay vs. Chi Cubs,
Money Line: 101.00 Chi Cubs (Home)
Result: Loss
Fatigue, an overworked bullpen and playing on a grass surface all work against the Rays in this matchup. So does facing Marcus Stroman. 

This is enough to put me on the Cubs.

Tampa Bay hasn't been sharp with a 6-6 record. This will be the Rays' 13tht straight day of playing. Their first off day comes Thursday. Their best reliever, Andrew Kittredge, had to work two innings to get a save on Tuesday. 

The Rays are 2-6 in their last eight games on grass, which is an off-surface for them. Stroman is solid. I prefer him at home against Tampa Bay starter Drew Rasmussen.
