The price keeps getting better here on the Cubs -1.5 so at +120 I'm diving in! With the highest total on the board tonight, I'm ok taking the -1.5 for a home team in what makes to be a higher scoring game, and we get to back the significantly better starting pitcher against a team that's been near league worst against lefties. Shota Imanaga is pitching to a 2.90 xERA and while I do worry about his fly balls allowed under these weather conditions, I still have to back him over Brandon Sproat. Eight home runs allowed in 36 innings so far for Sproat isn't a recipe for success in this weather either, so banking on the Cubs' slugging lefties to get to him.

The Cubs had a terrible road trip, but they are coming home now and are 18-5 with a +43 run differential in Wrigley so far this season. The Shota Imanaga vs. Brandon Sproat pitching matchup also favors the Cubs, rather heavily.
