Ian Happ hit a two-run homer and Chicago handed the Marlins their fourth loss in a row to go one game under .500. It won't get any easier for Miami as they face a hot pitcher in Drew Smyly, who has allowed only five runs in 30 1/3 innings his past five starts, including a 5-1 victory over Washington on Monday when he gave up one run in seven innings. The lefthander has a 2.83 ERA and 0.91 WHIP overall this season, including a near no-hitter against the Dodgers on April 21. Bryan Hoeing will make his third start for Miami and he has given up six runs on 11 hits in 8 2/3 innings this year. The Cubs have won four of the past five meetings at Chicago and the Marlins are 14-37 their past 51 road games versus southpaw starters and they have lost five of six on the road overall. Take the Cubs as a Max Play.
