THE PLAY: Chicago Cubs -155 Action
After being embarrassed Friday, expect the Cubs to respond with a big effort Saturday. Imanga held the Padres to two runs through 6 1/3 innings in his last start. I like that he didn't walk a batter. He's got a 1.08 WHIP this season and a stingy 0.85 WHIP in five career starts vs St Louis. Leahy has been solid at home but he's got a 5.35 ERA and 1.61 WHIP on the road. Even after yesterday's loss, Chicago is still a healthy 22-11 at home vs. NL opponents. Cubs bounce back. *Good up to -165
