Premium Pick

Chicago is in first place in the NL Central after winning its fifth in seven games, 6-2 over the Diamondbacks on Saturday. Seiya Suzuki and Michael Busch hit consecutive home runs in a four-run second, and the bullpen allowed one run in five innings for the Cubs. Jameson Taillon has allowed seven runs on 13 hits in 17 1/3 innings in his past three starts, and Chicago won two of them. Arizona is 2-9 in its past 11 games as an underdog of +110 to +150, and the Cubs have won Taillon's past four home starts. The UNDER is 5-0-1 in Merrill Kelly's past six starts versus NL Central opponents. The weather forecast calls for a cold and rainy day with winds blowing in at 16 mph at Wrigley Field. Take the Cubs and the UNDER.
