Stephen Nover's Thursday Run Line Dominator
(MLB) Miami vs. Chi Cubs,
Point Spread: -1.50 | 109.00 Chi Cubs (Home)
Result: Push
In Yu we trust.
The Cubs are in must-win mode and going with their top pitcher, Yu Darvish. He had a Cy Young Award-type season going 8-3 in 12 starts with a 2.01 ERA. Darvish has been excellent for the Cubs now for the last 1 1/2 years posting a 2.40 ERA since last season's All-Star Game.
Darvish could catch a big break if the Marlins' most dangerous hitter, Starling Marte, can't play after he got hit in the hand with a pitch on Wednesday.  
The Marlins are going with rookie Sixto Sanchez, who has a high ceiling but perhaps hit a rookie wall during his final two regular season starts when he gave up nine runs in seven innings.
