AAA's EARLY TOP RATED INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY (UNLOAD IMMEDIATELY!)
(MLB) Cincinnati vs. Chi Cubs,
Money Line: -180.00 Chi Cubs (Home)
Result: Win
This is an 8* play on the Chicago Cubs.

Sometimes a favorite is a favorite for a reason and in this case, we absolutely believe that Jose Quintana and the playoff bound Cubbies are well worth the price of admission in this spot.

Robert Stephenson: He's 5-6 with a 4.86 ERA. Stephenson most recently gave up four runs off five hits over six innings in a loss to Boston on Saturday. Stephenson has been decent overall this season, but if he's had one weakness, it's clearly been his form on the road where he's just a poor 1-3 with a 6.89 ERA.

Quintana: He's 11-11 with a 4.06 ERA. Quintana comes in off a complete-game gem against Milwaukee on Sunday, scattering three hits and striking out ten in the victory. Quintana has been far from perfect since coming over to the Cubs, but he does enter his last start of the regular season on top form, posting a tiny 1.63 ERA and 31:4 K:BB over four September outings (owns a very respectable 3.44 ERA in all "day" games as well.)

The bottom line: Note that Cincinnati is just 14-27 (-7.5 units) in its last 41 against clubs with winning records, while Chicag is 32-15 (+5.4 units) in its last 74 against teams with winning records. We like Quintana to close out the season strong, to come in focused on the task at hand and to easily outduel his inconsistent, younger counterpart. Lay the price with confidence, play on the CUBS.
