Kyle Hendricks looked like the ace of the staff in his last outing. The Cubs are 5-1 versus lefty starters this season and 57-36 over the last three years. This Cubs lineup sets up extremely well versus southpaws. Boston comes in averaging 2.6 runs over its last seven games. Play the Cubbies.

Getting the Cubs on Sunday Night Baseball at +103 is an absolute gift. The wOBA model has the Cubs winning 55 percent of simulations on the road at Fenway against Eduardo Rodriguez. Giving the Cubs the DH helps more than it hurts Kyle Hendricks on the mound. Rodriguez has signs of reverse splits in his career, so I really like this matchup for guys like Anthony Rizzo and Jason Heyward. Take the Cubs.

Kyle Hendricks is coming off his best performance of the season, and Kris Bryant is locked in and riding a 10-game hitting streak. In my simulations, the Cubs are winning 57 percent of the time. Back the visitors in the rubber game.
