AAA's AFTERNOON 5-GAME MLB DESTRUCTION PASS (B2B 5-GAME CA$HES!)
(MLB) Arizona vs. Chi Cubs,
Money Line: -158.00 Chi Cubs (Home)
Result: Loss
This is an 8* play on the Chicago Cubs.

A couple of red hot starters collide in Chicago on Wednesday night.

Zack Godley: He's 4-4 with a 3.06 ERA. Godley most recently went seven scoreless with seven K's in a win over the Cardinals on Thursday. To go along with his solid 3.06 ERA, Godley also sports a sharp 1.01 WHIP and 9.3 K/9 (his peripherals suggest that it's no fluke either, as his 3.03 FIP makes his numbers sustainable moving forward.) Note that he owns a solid 3.04 ERA on the road as well.

Jake Arrieta: He's 10-7 with a 4.03 ERA. Arrieta most recently gave up two runs off two hits while striking out five over seven innings in a victory over the White Sox on Wednesday. Arrieta continued his string of strong play, as he came into that one having posted a 3.30 ERA over his previous ten trips to the hill (giving up two runs or fewer in seven of those starts.) Note that Arrieta owns a respectable 3-1, 3.86 ERA record at home.

The bottom line: As good as Godley has been, it now appears as if Arrieta has finally regained his elite form. If this game was in Arizona, the value would surely be on Godley, but a red hot surging Arrieta at home could/shoudl easily be a much larger fav in this spot. Play on the CUBS.
