3% 1H Chicago Cubs (-115) over Houston — w/ Taillon & Arrighetti — 

Houston has been on a different level this season, and not in a good way. In the L7 games they are just 1-6! One of their biggest concerns is their starting pitching and that doesn’t change tonight.

Houston is throwing Spencer Arrighetti for his 3rd start this season. In his F2 starts he has thrown a total of 7 IP and has allowed 9 ERs. While Jameson Tailllon makes his 2nd start of the season for the Cubs. Taillon was impressive in his debut to say the least, throwing 5 IP and allowing just 1 ER.

Houston is putting up under 3.5 runs/game on the road this season and have struggled even more in interleague play thus far. While the Cubs are putting up over 6 runs/game on their home field.

I am going to stick in the early innings here and go with the Cubs and the SP edge.
