The Chicago Cubs have played well of late, winning six of their last 10, but they've seen their once-large NL Central lead evaporate into a tie at the top as the Milwaukee Brewers just rattled off 11 wins in a row before losing 1-0 on Tuesday. Chicago wraps up a three-game set with the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday at 2:20 p.m. ET. The Royals are 49-53 after making the postseason, and with just over a week until the trade deadline, they appear primed to be sellers. One player the Royals could sell off is right-hander Seth Lugo (6-5, 2.94 ERA), who starts for K.C. on Wednesday while Chicago counters with Colin Rea (8-3, 3.80 ERA). Lugo finished second in AL Cy Young voting last year and has a player option for next year, meaning he could be a free agent this offseason. The SportsLine Projection Model loves the Cubs in this matchup, with Chicago's money line earning an 'A' grade. The Cubs win in 69% of model simulations, returning value at -172 odds. 

The Red Sox used a hot stretch ahead of the All-Star Break to jump back into playoff contention, and they hold the third and final AL Wild Card spot entering Wednesday's series finale with the NL East-leading Phillies. Lucas Giolito (6-3, 3.59 ERA) starts for Boston, while the Phillies turn to Jesus Luzardo (8-5, 4.29 ERA) as they look for a sweep. Giolito has enjoyed a great bounceback season for the Red Sox, but he's coming off a lackluster last start when he gave up four runs in 5.1 innings against the Cubs. As for Luzardo, he also gave up four runs in his last start, lasting just 4.2 innings against the Angels. Despite these teams combining for just 10 total runs in the first two games of this series, the model likes Over 8.5 runs in this one, with that earning a 'B' grade as it hits in over 64% of simulations at -120 odds. 

All bettors should practice responsible gaming by not chasing losses and betting within their means. There are also a number of tools and resources available for DraftKings users, such as time and wager limits and links and phone numbers to national and local resources.
