This is a 6* SITUATIONAL PITCHING MISMATCH on the Chicago Cubs.

We feel that the massive talent discrepancy on the mound today absolutely justifies in laying this larger price. The home side hands the ball to Jake Arrieta (17-6, 2.11 ERA) who struck out 12 with one walk in Sunday's 2-0 win over the Dodgers for his first no-hitter. Arrieta was without question the best in the league in the month of August, winning all six of his starts behind a minuscule 0.43 ERA: "I'm just focused on Arizona and pitching against them, and then trying to win as many games as we can leading into the postseason to try to put ourselves in a good position," Arrieta said last night. The visitors counter with Robbie Ray (3-10, 3.72 ERA) who is 0-6 with a ballooned 5.40 ERA in nine starts since the mid-Summer classic. The Cubs are swinging a hot stick right now as evidenced by their 14-5 rout in the opener of this three game set, Addison Russell would post his first career two-homer effort, while Anthony Rizzo would deliver a grand slam: "Hitting's contagious," Russell said. "Everyone wants to get a knock. You just want to get the next one." Lay the price with confidence on CHICAGO.
