AAA's 10* UNDERDOG GAME OF WEEK (+$61,000 BIG TICKET RUN!)
(MLB) Cincinnati vs. Chi Cubs, 04/13/2016 4:05 PM, Score: 2 - 9
Money Line: 176.00 Cincinnati (Away)
Result: Loss
This is a 10* UNDERDOG GAME OF THE WEEK on the Cincinnati Reds.

The Cubs are struggling at the plate and Chicago starting pitcher John Lackey has certainly seen better days. In our opinion, there is absolutely no way that the home side should be this big a favorite, the value is clearly on the visitors in this one. Lackey gave up up six runs off eight hits over six innings in his team's 14-6 victory over the Diamondbacks on Thursday. Reds' starter Alfredo Simon has also seen better times, but he's 3-0 with a 1.10 ERA in five starts against the Cubs and has held slugger Jason Heyward to 1 for 8. The Cubs are 6-1 to open the year, while the Reds are 5-2. For this pick, we're basing it entirely on the starting pitchers and as we stated off the top, we feel that Lackey has a lot to prove before being instilled as this large a favorite. Grab the value, take the REDS.
