On Thursday the Early MLB Road warrior system play is on the Chicago Cubs. Game 955 at 1:05 eastern. The Cubs fit the fabulous power system below that plays on road favorites off a +140 or higher road dog win in which they scored 5 or more runs in a game where the total was 8 or less and their opponent is off a home favored loss at -140 or higher and scored 4 or less runs on 5+ hits. These road teams are 17-2 since 2004 AND HAVE NOT LOST in games where the total is Higher than 8 in today's game. The Cubs are 4-1 as a road favorite off a road dog win and the Phillies have packed it in losing 10 of the last 12. The Cubs have a solid pitching edge with Jeff Samadzija and he has a 2.72 road era and has turned it up of late winning his last 5 road starts allowing just 9 earned runs in 44 innings. He will Oppose E. Martin making his 2nd start. In his debut he was hammered for 6 earned runs in 4+ innings. Look for the Cubs to come away with a win as Philly leaves town today.
