Both teams are playing well, but the defending world champion Cubs are much superior to the Yankees. In a pitching matchup of Michael Pineda versus Kyle Hendricks and Chicago playing at Wrigley Field, this is a cheap price to lay with the Cubs.

Chicago has won 40 of its past 57 home games. The Cubs also are 20-8 in Hendricks' last 28 starts. Hendricks, the NL's ERA leader last season, began the year slow but has looked much better. Hendricks has allowed just two runs during his past two starts spanning 12 innings facing the Pirates and Red Sox. The Yankees have never faced Hendricks.

The Yankees rely on the long ball. They've gotten 13 homers this season from Aaron Judge, including six in his last six games. But the wind is going to be blowing in at around 20 mph limiting New York's power. I like the Cubs' ability to manufacture runs more than the Yankees especially with Pineda pitching in a totally unfamilar park.
