MLB Thursday

Arizona Diamondbacks at Chicago Cubs

Here comes the Cubbies 8-2 in last 10 games and on the heels of Milwaukee.  Don't you love National League Central? That is a money making division, Chicago will welcome Arizona Diamondbacks who are very mediocre this season trailing the Dodgers by 13 games in the West. 4-6 in their last 10 games. The Cubs will send Javier Assad to the mound and this is a kid to keep an eye on. Coming out of Baja he is progressing and going through innings like a top tier pitcher. The Diamondbacks will send Ryne Nelson who is struggling lately. 

This game seemingly will have plenty of Chicago backers laying this one, but the match up does not hold value and everything about this game has pitfalls of over expectation. Keep in mind Arizona is above .500 home and away.  Nelson after two bad outing in this spot it would not surprise to see him improve. Head to head in last 10 games they have split 50 /50 and Arizona has taken 4 of those wins as a underdog. These two teams have not met this season and Arizona quietly chasing the last wildcard spot. We are looking at Arizona Run line +1.5 and Money line. On weather watch

I didn't post the closing lines, but winner never the less
