MLB - 979 Chicago Cubs @ 980 Seattle Mariners
(Starting Pitchers: J. Samardzija vs A. Harang)
Seattle will start Aaron Harang tonight, who is being super inconsistent. He is coming from a start against Oakland, where he was only able to pitch for five innings, but where he limited damage with three runs allowed. Before that, he had allowed four runs (one earned) at LA against the Angels, even though he allowed eleven hits in that game! On the previous game, he had dominated Houston with a 10/0 K/BB ratio! Still, his lack of consistency makes him good fade material when he is involved on a pitchers-duel against a talented SP like Jeff Samardzija.
Samardzija wasn't sharp against Houston, but a letdown was inevitable given his workload on his previous start, where he threw 112 pitchers or more on his previous four starts! Samardzija threw "just" 92 pitches against the Astros and with five days of rest between games, he will be ready to roll tonight. With both offenses being similar according to my rankings and with the Cubs having a clear SP edge in here, I believe the Cubs will pick up a good road team tonight.
Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 979 Chicago Cubs ML (w/ J. Samardzija) @ -101 / 1.99 on 5Dimes
