(MLB) Miami vs. Chi Cubs,
Money Line: -185.00 Chi Cubs (Home)
Result: Win
This is a 5* play on the Chicago Cubs.

We think Jake Arrieta is well worth the price of admission in this spot.

Jeff Locke: He's 0-0 with a 1.59 ERA. In his Marlins debut on Thursday he'd give up one run off three hits over five innings in a no-decision against Arizona. Locke looked good in his first start of the year, but we'll caution in reading too much into one decent out and point out that he was just 4-6 with a ballooned 7.16 ERA in all road games last season.

Arrieta: He's 5-4 with a 4.60 ERA. Arrieta most recently allowed one run off five hits and two walks over six innings while also striking out seven in a no-decision against the Padres on Wednesday. Despite his sub-par ERA, Arrieta still owns an extremely impressive 71:17 K/W ratio through 62.2 innings of work.

The bottom line: Arrieta has been at his most consistent at home this season, going 2-0 with a 3.06 ERA. Sometimes a favorite is a favorite for a reason and in this case, all signs do indeed point to a lop-sided destruction. Play on the CUBS.
