The last two Cubs games have ended in shutouts, one in their favor and one against them. It has been an issue all season, as they have run hot and cold, and it may be hard to find the "hot" button today as they will be facing Danny Salazar. Salazar is 6-2 on the season and has been the Tribe's best option on the hill, as he has worked five consecutive starts of allowing three runs or less. Jason Hammel has pitched well for most of the season, but is off a rocky outing last time out. He has yet to record a win vs. Cleveland where he is 0-3 with a 5.40 ERA in four starts. Moreover, the Cubs are now 2-9 when Hammel faces a team with a losing record over his last 11. The Tribe find the win column with regularity at home where they are 22-8 in their last 30. Make the play on Cleveland.
