Cubs -200/Indians +170
WOW!!
Glad I got Cubs @ +140!!
Both managers have been there.
Cubs bullpen slightly better than Tribes! Miller difference in pen for Indians, two hard throwers for Cubs another edge, Chapman stellar, Rondon needs to pitch up and sliders away otherwise he gives up big gophers!!
Catching, edge Cubs.
Infield, even.
Outfield, even
Cubs get to use DH away, Schwarber possibly coming back but he's been out since early April, so you can put another bat in the lineup off the bench for Cubs, who will that be? Almora? Soler?
Starting pitching, you have to go with Cubs, they aren't as banged up, Tribe with Kluber, Bauer isn't much but he'll be better now that his stitches could be gone, but the area will be tender on his hand still, Salazar has been out with forearm strain, not a good indicator, Carrasco is out I believe, Merritt not much playoff experience other than shutting down a potent Jays lineup on the road!! Cubs with Arrietta, Lackey, Lester, Hendricks, all with big game experience now, so huge huge edge here.
No DH for Tribe when they go to CHITOWN, could be a difference maker after first 2 games.
GL on what ya'll play, I'm sticking with the Cubs!!
