ASA top play on 10* Chicago Cubs +125 vs. San Francisco Giants, 10:15 PM ET - We like the pitching matchup and the Cubs as a dog in this setting. The Cubs went into the All-Star Break with a win, then proceeded to cash in five straight games after the break before losing 2-4 last night. The Giants on the other hand had lost seven games in a row prior to last night’s win. In each teams last ten games the Cubs have a net run differential of +1 run per game, while the Giants are a negative -1.8 runs per game. Overall, the Cubs have faired slightly better against right-handed pitchers than the Giants have but in their last ten games the difference is drastically in favor of Chicago. In their last ten games the Giants are hitting just .188 as a team versus righties and producing 3.40 runs/9 innings. The Cubs on the other hand are hitting .254 as a team in their last ten against right-handed pitchers. Chicago will send Marcus Stroman to the bump today who is 2-5 on the season with a 4.69 ERA but a solid 1.15 WHIP. He’s had two really bad outings this season against St Louis and Tampa Bay where he allowed 9 and 7 earned runs but other than that he’s been solid. In his last three starts he hasn’t earned a decision but has allowed just 2 total earned runs, 8 hits in 14.1 innings of work. Cobb is 3-4 on the season with a 4.26 ERA and 1.33 WHIP. In his four most recent games he has one solid outing against the Brewers but has allowed 10 earned runs and 20 hits. We like Chicago in this game and expect a solid win by the visitor.
