Result: Win
Play: Chicago Cubs RL
Rating: 10/10*
The Chicago Cubs have lost four of their last six after going 1-2 in two straight home series against the D'Backs and the Nats. The Cubs have however been very reliable as road favorites all season going 20-12 SU as a road favorite of -125 or more, and I think they'll win big at San Francisco Monday night.
Jake Arrieta (10-8, 3.88 ERA) will take the ball for the visitors. He has recovered nicely from a disappointing start to the season and went 3-1 with a 2.25 ERA through five starts in July. He held Arizona to a pair of runs on three hits through seven frames his last time out. Arrieta will make his seventh career start against the Giants and is 4-2 with a solid 1.82 ERA in previous meetings.
San Francisco turns to Matt Moore (3-11, 5.80 ERA) who gave up four runs on six hits and three walks in five innings of a 6-1 home loss to Oakland his last time out. Moore was 1-2 with an 8.88 ERA in five starts during June and 0-2 with a 4.76 ERA last month.
The reigning World Series champions have a lot to play for, sitting top of NL Central just 0.5 games ahead of the Brewers. The Giants meanwhile are dead last in the NL West division. I don't think the coast-to-coast travel will affect the Cubs enough to offset their edge.
My selection is a 10* play on the Chicago Cubs RL.
