AAA's EARLY ONE & ONLY 10* GAME OF MONTH - INSANE 11-2 (85%) "GOM STREAK!
(MLB) Milwaukee vs. Chi Cubs,
Money Line: -158.00 Chi Cubs (Home)
Result: Loss
This is a 10* GAME OF THE MONTH on the Chicago Cubs.

Sometimes a favorite is a favorite for a reason and in this case, we feel that Mike Montgomery and the Cubs could/should easily be much largers ones:

Zach Davies: He's 9-4 with a 5.03 ERA. No one in the league has likely been as "lucky" with run support than Davies this year, who most recently earned a win over Miami on Saturday despite allowing four runs off five hits and two walks over six innings. He only has four quality starts in 17 trips to the hill and to go along with his poor 5.03 ERA, he also sports a poor 1.49 WHIP and has just 60 K's across 91.1 innings of work.

Montgomery: He's 1-5 with a 2.80 ERA. Montgomery allowed four runs off nine hits and two walks while striking out seven over six innings in a loss to Cincinnati on Friday. This was the first time in any of his five outings that he's allowed more than three earned runs (is 1-1 with a 2.04 ERA at home.)

The bottom line: Milwuakee is just 1-3 (-2.4 units) in its last four against southpaws, while Chicago is 3-1 (+2.3 units) in its last four against right-handers. We think Davies' inconsistencies finally catch up to him here and we look for Montgomery to finally get some run support. All things considered, we do indeed believe this is the very definition of "great line value." Play on the CUBS.
