Money Line: -160.00 Chi Cubs (Away)
Result: Win
This is an 8* MID-CHALK CHOKE-OUT on the Chicago Cubs.

Chicago rolled to a relatively simple 4-0 win with Jake Arrieta on the mound yesterday afternoon and suffice it to say, we're expecting a similar if not even bigger victory for the Cubbies this afternoon as well. The visitors hand the ball to Kyle Hendricks (10-7, 2.22 ERA) who comes in off a gem vs. the Fish on Monday, scattering seven hits, walking three and striking out five in the eventual complete game shutout. Hendricks has arguably been the best pitcher in all of MLB over the last month as he's now held the opposition without an earned run in six of his past eight trips to the hill. Amazingly, Hendricks now owns the best ERA in the Cubs rotation, with Arrieta (2.75) and Jon Lester (2.95) now trailing. No matter the venue, Hendricks has dominated in day games thus far, going 6-2 with a tiny 2.12 ERA. His counterpart is Sean Manaea (3-6, 4.68) who was rocked for five runs off six hits and three walks to go along with four K's in a setback to the Angels on Tuesday. In 15 starts this year the rookie has now given up 14 home runs. Clearly that doesn't bode well in facing one of the league's most prolific offenses today. We think Hendricks is severely undervalued in this matchup, making this a price in which we have no issues at all in laying. Play on the CUBS.
