Johnson (2-7) took the loss Sunday, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks over 5.1 innings against the Royals. He struck out four.
Crow-Armstrong went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 11-4 loss to the Cardinals.
Winds blowing in with chilly 30 degree temps in Chicago have this total at seven. Jose Soriano was solid in his first outing of the season, allowing zero runs on just two hits, albeit he did work around four walks. Jameson Taillon makes his first start of the year and is much better off when the wind is knocking down fly balls. He saw his fly ball rate rise last year, so the cold and wind should help knock down anything in the air. Both teams saved their top bullpen arms yesterday with the Cubs winning a lopsided game and I have this projecting at just over six runs, so let's take the under seven, needing an 8th run to be beat us.
Soriano was great in his first outing against the Astros while Jameson Tallion had an awful spring training (although he was solid in the WBC versus Panama). The weather is going to limit runs all around and Soriano's great start along with his knack for producing ground balls should keep the scoring low on the Cubs side. The Angels have been putting up runs through five games and I think they can scratch out some runs against Tallion in the first five. You can take the F5 ML at a plus number if you don't want to lay the juice. Notable that DK has this bet at -125.
