Analysis

The Houston Astros have been burning money this season and we are going against them again tonight in Wrigley. Houston is just (7-17) on the year and have only won three out of eleven on the road. They are down over -11 units already and are off of getting swept by Atlanta, losing two of three to Washington, plus dropped the opener last night against Chicago. 

The Astros starter Arrighetti has been smacked around in his first two starts to the tune of 9 earned runs through only 7 innings of work. He is sporting a horrendous 8/5 strikeout to walk ratio. Tailllon gets the nod for Chicago and the former Yankee was great in his first start of the season, going 5 innings, giving up one run last week. 

The Cubs have won eight of eleven so far in Wrigley and have a sizable bullpen advantage over the Astros. Near pick'em price tag has us on the Cubs. Good through (-130). Bet Cubs.
