Friday, August 13, 2021 at 7:10 pm
This is a play on the CHICAGO CUBS for our N.L. Game of the Month. It has been a rough run for the Cubs as they have lost eight straight games to officially drop out of playoff contention. They catch a good match up here though after facing the Brewers and White Sox, who are both division leaders. The Cubs are 10-1 against the money line National League starting pitchers whose ERA is 5.40 or worse this season. Miami won against San Diego on Wednesday 7-0 to snap a five game losing streak. The Marlins are still dead last in the National League East at 48-67. The Marlins are 0-4 in their last four games against teams with a losing record. Here we play against National Leage teams when the money line is +125 to -125 with a starting pitcher whose WHIP is 1.65 or worse on the season with a team slugging percentage of .400 or worse on the season. This situation is 47-20 (70.1 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (907) Chicago Cubs 7:10 PM ET
