The Cubs' 10-game winning streak vanished yesterday in a 6-0 road loss to the Rangers. Now the Cubs are looking at a two-game losing streak with a pitching matchup of Jameson Taillon against Jacob deGrom. Taillon is 2-1 with a 4.24 ERA, 1.140 WHIP and 6.01 FIP while deGrom is 2-2 with a 3.11 ERA, 1.009 WHIP and 3.35 FIP. Taillon is a journeyman while deGrom still is an elite starter. Led by an unlikely combo of Jakob Junis and Jacob Latz, the Rangers have the lowest bullpen ERA in the majors at 2.84. The next closest team, the Braves, are at 3.26. The Cubs' injury-racked bullpen has a 3.81 ERA. The Cubs have lost eight of 14 games against the Rangers on the road. Take the Rangers.

Chicago at Texas

The Rangers have played one of the toughest schedules of any MLB team so far. Things don't get easier as Texas is hosting the Cubs, who have won 10 in a row. But there is reason to back the underdog home Rangers. The Cubs have a lifetime losing record at Texas. Chicago starter Edward Cabrera has surrendered five homers in his last three starts. The Cubs could have the most depleted bullpen in the majors with seven relievers on the injury list. They don't have anyone with more than two saves this season. Texas starting pitcher Jack Leiter has run hot and cold. But he is averaging an impressive 10.2 strikeouts per nine innings. The Rangers' band of unsung relievers has compiled the majors' lowest ERA at 2.93. The next-closest bullpen ERA is the Yankees' at 3.18. Take the Rangers.

Chicago begins a nine-game road trip. They're 18-5 at Wrigley Field, but 8-7 on the road. Reliever Ben Brown makes his first start, filling in for injured Matthew Boyd. Brown started last season in the rotation, but was dropped after a bad outing in June against the Cardinals (eight runs, nine hits, four homers allowed in five innings), then made just one start after that. Texas beat the Yankees in their last game at home, 3-2, and starter Kumar Rocker has a 2.65 ERA at home. Play Texas.
