T.M. Selection: Cubs (8* BANKROLL BUILDER).

Zach Davies (1-2, 8.22 ERA) has struggled for Chicago, but a date vs. the hapless Pirates is just what the doctor ordered to get back on track this afternoon. Davies clearly isn't as terrible as his record would indicate. And fortunately for him, his counterpart is Trevor Cahill (1-3, 7.40). These two teams and starting pitchers have all struggled to open the year, but Davies benefits from the friendly confines. The Cubs are playing their best baseball of the season, off three straight wins over the Dodgers, scoring 17 runs in the process; this is the very definition of great line value, so lay it!

T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Cubs.
