AAA's Afternoon Interleague "ASSASSIN!"
(MLB) Chi White Sox vs. Chi Cubs,
Money Line: -157.00 Chi Cubs (Home)
Result: Win
Money Line: -157.00 Chi Cubs (Home)
Result: Win
This is an 8* ASSASSIN on the Chicago Cubs.
The White Sox have taken the first two games of this series (we were on Sale yesterday), but I like the home side to finally bounce back in the finale of this interleague match-up. Jake Arrieta (9-5, 2.80 ERA) gets the call for the Cubs and he comes into this contest red hot, he's 3-0 with a 1.17 ERA and a 0.75 WHIP over his last four starts, most recently surrendering two runs over 6 2/3's innings in a 7-4 victory over the Cards on Tuesday. The visitors counter with Jose Quintana (4-8, 3.69 ERA) who is 2-2 with a 2.70 ERA over his last six starts and has gone eight straight starts pitching at least six innings, while allowing three runs or fewer. This obviously won't be a cake walk, but I'm giving the slight nod to Arrieta in this match-up, who has the clear advantage of throwing at home (note that Quintana is 3-4 with a 4.05 ERA on the road, while Arrieta has posted a 3.27 ERA at home and a 2.66 ERA in all "day" games). And I'll give the home side the big nod in the motivation department as it looks to stave off the sweep, play on the CUBS.
