We're taking the Chicago Cubs on Thursday to win outright at home against the Houston Astros.

Rapid Breakdown

• The Chicago Cubs will look to get the series sweep on Thursday as they host the Houston Astros in Game 3. However, there's very little to suggest that today's matchup will go any differently for the Astros.
• The Cubs rank top six in the league this season in terms of RBI, while the Astros continue to languish down in 18th in that same category, with Houston scoring 29 less runs than Chicago this season as well. The Astros bullpen has been equally as problematic for them this season, averaging an ERA of 5.04 (27th), and giving up the third most earned runs in the league as well.
• Justin Verlander takes the mound for the Houston Astros this afternoon, but he gave up two earned runs in his last start against a bottom tier offensive team in the Washington Nationals last week. Add on to that the fact that the Astros are just 4-12 when facing teams with a winning overall record this season, and we believe the value lies in taking the home side in this one, the Chicago Cubs, to get the series sweep on Thursday.

Take the Chicago Cubs to win outright at home on Thursday against the Houston Astros.
