This is a 10* NL CENTRAL GOY on the Cubs.

Despite what happens between these teams on Friday, I love the way this one sets up for Justin Steele (0-0, 0.96 ERA, 0.86 WHIP) and the Cubs facing Paul Skenes (0-0, 0.00), who will make his MLB deubt.

Skenes is the No. overall picks last year out of LSU and while all his early and AAA numbers look great, I still feel he's overmatched here.

This is the most anticipated debut since Stephen Strasburg back in 2010.

But Steele already enters on top form and already has his first start of the season under his belt, going five innings and conceding just three hits and a walk while striking out two in a no-decision vs. the hard-hitting Padres last time out.

Skenes could go down as the greatest pitcher of all time, but until I see it myself, I say the value here is for sure on Steele and CUBS.

Good luck, NP
