**9 STRAIGHT WINNERS?** INTERLEAGUE GAME OF MONTH
(MLB) Cleveland vs. Chi Cubs, 06/21/2021 8:05 PM, Score: 4 - 0
Money Line: -135.00 Chi Cubs (Home)
Result: Loss
I'm playing on CHICAGO. After getting absolutely pounded on Friday and Saturday, the Cubs bounced back with an important 2-0 victory Sunday. I won with them in that game and I expect the Cubs to carry the positive momentum into Monday's opener against Cleveland. Of course, it helps that Alzolay is back, after dealing with a blister. Prior to his June 7th start, the one where he had to deal with the blister, Alzolay had a stellar 2.95 ERA in his previous seven starts, recording 41 K's in 39 2/3 innings. While Civale has been mostly solid, he served up three HR's in his most recent road start and he's given up six home runs in his last four starts overall. He's benefitted by facing Baltimore (twice) Detroit and Seattle in four of his past five starts. With yesterday's win, the Cubs moved to 10-3 as home favorites in the -125 to -175 range. On the other hand, Cleveland is just 7-16 its last 23, as a road underdog in the +125 to +175 range. Cubs win.
