Chicago had gone UNDER three straight before Saturday's come-from-behind win over the Reds, but look for the UNDER to come through in this matchup as Jon Lester goes for the Cubs. He is 11-2 with a 2.25 ERA and has given up a total of only 13 earned runs his last 10 starts. Also, he has a 1.49 ERA and .219 opponent batting average at home this season. And Lester has been nearly untouchable in day games with a 6-0 record and 1.32 ERA. He was 5-0 and 1.13 overall in the month of June. Luis Castillo has allowed more than three runs once his last four outings, and he comes off a good performance against the White Sox allowing a run on six hits in 6 2/3 innings. Chicago has gone UNDER 10 of its last 14 home games and 11 of 15 home games versus right-handed starters. Play the UNDER.
