Welcome back gang! We are heading to the division rival Chicago Cubs, and backing them to score 4 runs through 7 innings as a team. This is listed on DK as Cubs F7 TTO 3.5 +110.
Lets get after it today gang. Today the Cubs take on AJ Puk in Wrigley. Puk has really struggled to start the season and has really struggled throwing strikes on the year. 24% walk rate is top among qualified starters and has only struck out 14% of batters through his first 3 starts. The issue for Puk is that the Cubs are a really tough team to struggle against. Cubs have been lethal against southpaws this season and at home as well. The Cubs at home this year have the top OPS, .860, 2nd in average and 3rd in slugging percentage. Also, the numbers against lefties are not to shabby either. They rank top in the MLB in OPS versus lefties at .914, which is top by 70 points. With them being top in Slugging percentage it is scary to see that they are only striking out at an 18% clip. Tough spot for Puk when dealing with issues in command and not being able to last deep into these starts, and having to deal with this Cubs team who is red hot at the moment. Lastly, with the inability for Puk to stay in games, the bullpen is a big part of this one. The Marlins bullpen has the 4th worst ERA with 4.84, they have the second worst WHIP in the league and rank 3rd allowing 105 runs already this season. Tough spot all around for the Marlins, and expect the Cubs to get at least 4 through the first 7.
