    MLB Saturday: Braves over Lester and Cubs

    I fade Lester and the Cubs in this game vs the Braves. Manny Banuelos is likely pitching his last game this season as the starting pitcher for the Braves (he had Tommy John surgery and is on a inning count). He maybe could get little innings from the bullpen but most likely not as a starter.
    Cubs are striking out on a regular basis offensively.

    Whatever the line is, it will favor the Cubs anyway since Lester starts. Fading Cubs in this situation not a bad idea. Good luck to all!!

    As a side note: Banuelos went 2-1 with 0.76 ERA in his first three Major League starts. Lester on the other hand has lost his last six decisions and is winless in 10 straight starts.

    If manuelos has been great you should bet the under. Cubs don't score when Lester pitches and he has been great this year. If he had run support his w-L record would be way diff. And he will be better in 2nd half

    Big time Under ump today.
    Under 7.5 seems like the play.

    like under/FF under but respectfully disagree that Tim Timmons is an under ump.
