Boston lost for the first time in 11 games as Seiya Suzuki hit a three-run homer and the Cubs won 4-1 last night. The Red Sox will look to start another win streak with Brayan Bello scheduled to start, and he is 6-3 with a 3.14 ERA. Chicago hitters are batting .200 with no homers in 35 at-bats against Bello, who has a 2.95 ERA in road games this season. Boston is 4-0-1 UNDER in its past five games, and the Cubs are 5-0 UNDER versus right-handed starters. Chicago has stayed UNDER seven of eight against American League opponents. The Red Sox have won five straight in the second game of a series. Shota Imanaga has a 4.61 ERA at home compared to 1.33 in away games for Chicago. Take the Red Sox and the UNDER.

I'm sure the Red Sox did not want to see the All-Star break come up when it did. The Sox closed out the first half with 10 straight wins, as they head to Chicago to take on the Cubs. The Cubs lead the NL Central and will face Lucas Giolito. Giolito was a top-of-the-rotation pitcher for the White Sox and seems to be regaining his form after injuries. Giolito has been impressive on the road, where he is 3-0 with a 1.95 ERA. The Cubs will counter with Colin Rea, who is 7-3 on the season with a 3.91 ERA.. Rea went through a rough 5-game stretch, allowing 25 earned runs, but has since gotten back on track, allowing just four runs in his last three starts and nine total hits. Sometimes it's hard for hitters to get back in the groove after several days off. I like the UNDER in this one.
