This is a 5* BIG-CHALK CHOKE-OUT on the Chicago Cubs.

We like playing chalk, especially when we feel the odds are overwhelmingly in our favor and that's the case here, we'd be shocked if the Cubs' Jon Lester didn't find a way to better his pathetic counterpart today. The visitors hand the ball to Tyler Cravy (0-3, 5.40 ERA) who was shelled for six runs off eight hits over five innings in a setback to the Cards on Friday. Note that the rookie owns a pedestrian 5.40 ERA in all "night" contests this year and he definitely draws a tough match-up throwing opposite Lester (7-8, 3.22 ERA) who is coming off his third straight victory by allowing two runs off six hits over seven innings, making it the seventh straight start in which the southpaw has gone at least six frames and fourth straight when he's given up two runs or fewer. Sometimes a favorite is a favorite for a reason, this is a classic David vs. Goliath scenario, only this time Goliath takes David yard! Lay the price with confidence on the CUBS.
