Result: Win
This is a 6* SITUATIONAL DESTRUCTION on the Chicago Cubs.
Sometimes a favorite is a favorite for a reason and in this case, we feel that Jake Arrieta and the defending champs could/should easily be much larger ones:
Arrieta: He's 9-7 with a 4.11 ERA. Arrieta comes in off a strong outing against the Cards on Friday, giving up two runs off five hits while striking out six over six innings in what turned out to be a no-decision. Arrieta closed the first half strong and that momentum has so far carried over into the second half.
Jake Shields: He's 2-2 with a 5.79 ERA. Shields most recently was rocked for six runs off ten hits and three walks over 4.1 innings in a fortunate no-decision against the Royals on Friday. Since re-joining the starting rotation, Shields has posted an 8.10 ERA, 1.90 WHIP and 18:15 K:BB ratio spanning six starts and 30 innings.
The bottom line: The Cubs are putting the foot on the gas now as the season comes down the home stretch. Clearly Arrieta is the better pitcher in this matchup and we think that the Cubs are worth the price overall. Note that the Cubs are 8-4 (+1.3 units) in their last 12 against clubs with losing records, while the White Sox are just 2-6 (-2.4 units) in their last eight against teams with winning records. Play on the CUBS.
