Premium Pick

Cincinnati's defense is strong, third in baseball in fewest errors made. Reds righty Scott Feldman (3.59 ERA) has turned in two straight quality starts and was 4-2 with a 2.54 ERA in six starts at Wrigley Field during his stint with the Cubs. The Chicago Cubs are ninth in baseball in pitching ERA and the offense has slipped from a year ago to #14 in runs scored and on-base percentage. Chicago is off a big offensive game yesterday but scored six total runs the previous four contests. Cubs starter Kyle Hendricks (3.40 ERA) has rebounded from a rough start to the season to post quality starts in three of his last four outings. Last year he was 9-2 with a 1.32 ERA at Wrigley Field. Chicago is 7-1-1 UNDER the total at Wrigley when Hendricks starts, plus 20-8 UNDER in his last 28 starts after scoring five runs or more in their previous game. Play the UNDER.
