The Chicago Cubs do not have a lot of wins to show for what they have done this season, but they have been a lot more competitive than their record indicates. The Cubs have suffered seven losses by 2 runs or less, but did manage an extra innings win here last night. Jeff Samardzija offers the Cubs a chance to win every time he akes the mound, and owns a 3.38 ERA on the season. Matt Latos should have more to show for than his 0-0 record through four starts as he certainly has pitched well enough to earn some wins. Division games usually play out tough, and Samardzija has pitched the Cubs to a 9-4 mark in his last 13 starts within the division. This should be another close game, and with the long odds against the Cubs here, I see some value. Take the Cubbies.
