Justin Steele is a Cy Young candidate as he is putting together a spectacular season with a 16-3 record and 2.55 ERA and 1.14 WHIP for Chicago, which is two games up in the wild-card race. Steele has not allowed a run and struck out 20 his past two outings and the Cubs have won his past nine starts. The left-hander is 12-2 with a 2.25 ERA at home and Arizona hitters are a combined 4-for-27 with no homers against him. Merrill Kelly gave up seven runs on 12 hits in five innings against the Dodgers and then came back with a good performance against Colorado allowing one run on four hits in seven innings. The Cubs have won seven of eight Saturday games and they are 8-1 UNDER their past nine home games. The UNDER is 8-3 the past 11 meetings and 11-5 UNDER at Wrigley Field. The wind will be blowing in at 11 mph. Take the Cubs and the UNDER.
