MLB: Saturday's TB/ChC


Play: Chi. Cubs +123 (action vs. Jackson)

Time: 4:05 p.m. ET

Reasoning: Edwin Jackson, who pitched three seasons for Tampa Bay, is 3-1 with a 2.25 ERA in four starts against his former club. In his last start Jackson held the Angels to two runs over six innings. Those same Angels crushed Jake Odorizzi in his last turn (3 IP, 5 R). This season Odorizzi is 3-4 with a 5.73 ERA in nine road games. Tampa Bay, which somehow is above .500 on the road, has been outscored by a half-run per game away from Tropicana Field. The Rays also score a half-run less per game vs. RH. Chicago has averaged 5.02 rpg vs. RH in its last 10 contests and 6.00 rpg vs. RH in its last five. Cubs SS Starlin Castro is 12-for-29 over his last seven games.



Record: 164-120-7 (57.7%)
Bankroll: +110.58%
