10* CUBS RUNLINE (ASSASSIN)

I'm going to lay the price for the extra 1.5 runs of insurance on Friday night with the Cubbies. Justin Steele gets the start for the Cubs and he's 3-6 with a 4.15 ERA, and he'll be opposed by Philadelphia's Kyle Gibson, who is 5-3 with a 4.35 ERA. The Phillies are still in contention despite having a number of key players still sidelined with injury (like Bryce Harper), but note that Gibson is 0-2 with a 5.40 ERA in 2 career starts vs. the Phillies. The Cubs defeated the Mets 3-2 in their final game before the break and I think they keep the momentum rolling here. I like Steel to match Gibson and in a contest that I see being decided late, or even in extras, I'm going to lay the price for the extra 1.5 runs of insurance; the play is Chicago on the runline option!
