Chicago Cubs vs. Houston Astros
Prediction: Chicago Cubs -102 odds (May 21st 2012)

5* graded play on the Chicago Cubs as they take to the road and play the Houston Astros set to start at 7:05 PM ET. The Cubs have fallen apart and are mired in the basement of the NL Central standings and have lost six straight games. Sunday, they were shutout by Jake Peavy and the CWS 6-0. However, this is more times than not, the optimal time to get on a ‘ugly’ team that is facing a team that has largely outperformed over the past several weeks. Houston is five games under. 500, but that is far better than even the most optimistic preseason projections. The Cubs are also sending a strong starter to the bump in Matt Garza, who has posted a 2.58 ERA with a 1.037 WHIP in seven starts this season. He has recorded 41 strikeouts in these seven starts spanning 45 ? innings of work. Bus Norris pitching his best baseball of his career, but why then is the line a near pick-em one. he has posted a 0.45 ERA and a 0.842 WHIP over his last three starts and posted a perfect 3-0 record, BUT the line this skinny and the public is betting Houston. Supporting this graded play is a system that has produced a record of 43-17 for 72% winners since 2006. Play against NL home teams when the money line is +125 to -125 and is a struggling offensive team scoring
