00:02 - Chicago White Sox, Chicago Cubs,

00:04 the battle of the windy city.

00:06 Today it'll be on the north side

00:07 and we do have the Chicago Cubs,

00:09 a favorite at minus 168 in a total

00:11 that is listed at eight and a half,

00:13 which typically means to us when we see that

00:16 the wind is blowing in at Wrigley

00:18 and it is 69 degrees, light wind at five miles an hour.

00:21 And also still taking a look at that red hot

00:24 Chicago Cubs lineup,

00:25 particularly against right-handed pitching

00:27 over the past 30 days.

00:28 Are we trusting the Cubbies here

00:29 at this price?

00:31 - Well, I certainly trust, you know,

00:36 Hendricks at this particular point,

00:38 who is really starting to do exactly

00:40 what they had hoped he would do now.

00:43 And that's kind of settled the middle

00:46 of the back end of that rotation down.

00:48 And he has actually been pretty good.

00:50 Now I will say this,

00:52 the Cubs have lost all three of his starts, I think,

00:56 since he came back.

00:59 So he is absolutely good due

01:02 for a little positive regression

01:04 because in some of those starts,

01:07 they just weren't hitting the ball.

01:08 That is not the case right now.

01:10 We've got one team at home playing for a ton

01:13 versus a team that is fading and fading fast.

01:17 So yeah, I got no problem looking at the Cubs,

01:21 even on the run line.

01:22 How's that, Donny?

01:24 You got no problem looking at them there as well.

01:25 - Yes.
