Our 4* ELITE play on the Cubs came home 3-1 despite an unusually subpar offensive effort. Chicago managed just 4 hits on the game and struggled to get anything going against Carson Palmquist who had entered the contest with an 11.88 ERA. Cubs starter Jameson Taillon was very good, allowing just 4 hits and 1 run over 6 strong innings. But after finding ourselves in a slump with MLB over the last week or so, we will happily accept the victory and hope the coin flip endings that have cost us dearly will begin to even out. Adding 4 Units brings our rolling 91 bday record to 128-115 for Plus 59.69 Units. .
4* ELITE – (MLB) Cubs -1.5 Runs (-150)
Yesterday the Rockies played a long, rain-delayed game in a Home loss to the Yankees and now travel for a road game in the afternoon versus the powerful Cubs who are coming off a loss. To make matters worse for Colorado, they are throwing Carson Palmquist, who is essentially a AAA pitcher, with an 11.88 ERA. The Rockies are 8-17 on the Run Line as a road dog while the Cubbies are above .500 on the Run Line as a Home Favorite. Cubs starter Taillon isn’t anything special but he should have a cushion to work with in this matchup.
