Cubs @ Marlins

This series has gone Over the last few but half of the last ten games between these two teams have stayed Under the current total of 8.5.

Our top cappers seem to feel this one will stay Under the 8.5 total.

Cubs Javier Assad allowed one earned run over 5 2/3 innings while striking out seven to earn the win on Tuesday against the Tigers.  Prior to that game, Assad allowed one run on five hits in 4 2/3 innings in a no-decision against the Guardians. 

Adam Oller was lit up for five runs over five runs over 4 2/3 innings on Monday in a loss to the Diamondbacks.   He is due for a rebound here. 

Diamondbacks @ Red Sox

Merrill Kelly will start for the Diamondbacks on Sunday.  He's 3-0 with a 3.63 ERA. In 36 at bats, the Red Sox have just four RBIs against him.

Kelly last allowed six runs in five innings and got a no-decision against the Rays on Sunday so he may be due for a good outing here.

Tanner Houck is 8-8 with a 3.01 ERA.

Houck allowed three runs (two earned) and got a no-decision against the Astros on Monday.  He does not have a win over his last six starts.
