This is a 5* BIG-CHALK CHOKE-OUT on the Chicago Cubs.

Sometimes a favorite is a favorite for a reason and in this case we feel that Jake Arrieta and the visiting Cubs should be much bigger ones. The home side hands the ball to Miguel Gonzalez (2-5, 4.41 ERA) who gave up three runs off four hits with two walks over six innings in a no-decision vs. the Mariners on Wednesday. Gonzalez has looked a bit better of late, but note that this is a spot in which he's struggled in mightily all year, going just 2-3 with a poor 5.86 ERA in front of the home town crowd. Arrieta (12-4, 2.60) returned to form in his last start after three straight poor outings, giving up just one run over seven innings in an unfortunate no-decision vs. the Mets on Tuesday. Arrieta gave up just one walk while striking out eight in the masterful performance. Note that Arrieta is 8-2 with a respectable 3.44 ERA on the road and is an even better 5-2 with a 2.54 ERA in all "night" games this year. It's always a heated battle between these cross-town Interleague rivals, but we feel that Arrieta is on an entirely different level than Gonzalez and we look for the CUBS to take full advantage of this favorable mismatch.
