Play: Money Line: -121 Chicago Cubs
After losing two of three to the Cardinals and getting a day to reset, the Cubs should be ready to respond at home against the A’s. Chicago is tied for second in the NL Central, so this is an important game as the division race tightens. The Cubs have won 104 of their last 178 games after a loss, 116 of their last 194 at home, 64 of their last 112 against American League opponents, and 94 of their last 154 as a home favorite. Oakland, meanwhile, has dropped 105 of its last 193 road games and 173 of its last 307 as an underdog. Chicago has won 18 of its last 29 home games and is in a strong position to open this series with a win.
