5*
(MLB) Yankees (NYY) vs. Cubs (CHC),
Money Line: 115.00 Cubs (CHC) (Home)
Result: Loss
Luis Gil will be starting for the Yankees here. It’s his 1st start back from injury, which I typically find to be a good spot to fade a pitcher.
That’s a problem when you consider the Yanks’ bullpen has a 4.17 ERA since 7/1 and Aaron Boone doesn’t know who his closer is as Clay Holmes now leads MLB in blown saves (11). CUBS will be fired up at home this afternoon and are a nice dog with Wicks on the mound.
