This is an 8* play on the Chicago Cubs.

Both starters looked terrible in their respective openers. Yu Darvish (0-0, 10.38 ERA) didn't have his best stuff for the Cubs in his debut for his new team, giving up five earned runs off five hits over 4.1 innings while striking out four. Darvish though looked great in ins Grape Fruit time, posting a 2.79 ERA over 19.1 innings and suffice it to say, we're expecting the hard-throwing right-hander to bounce back in a big way in this favorable matchup. The home side counters with Zach Davies (0-1, 9.53) who was rocked for seven runs off eight hits over 5.2 innings in a loss to the Cardinals on Monday. Davies had a pedestrian spring and clearly his struggles have carried over. Note that Chicago is 56-26 (+17.2 units) the last two years as a road fav in the -125 to -175 range, while Milwaukee is just 17-26 (-1.2 units) in the same span as a home dog of +125 to +175. Great value, play on CHICAGO.
