Premium Pick

Joe Madden lost to his former team on Tuesday, but the Cubs have a great opportunity to bounce back tonight against Blake Snell, who is 0-5 with a 5.36 ERA. Tampa Bay has lost his last four starts and in his last three outings as Snell has allowed 16 runs on 20 hits in 15 2/3 innings. Chicago has won 10 of its last 12 home games against left-handed starters and the Cubs are 9-2 their last 11 games after a loss. John Lackey had a rough outing his last start at Washington, but he recorded quality starts his previous two games. The Rays are 7-1-1 UNDER their last nine road games versus right-handed starters and 19-6-1 UNDER their last 26 interleague road games against righty starters. The Cubs stayed UNDER in 27 of their last 38 and 14 of their last 17 contests. Play the Cubs and the UNDER.
