  • There have been afternoon games each day this week and Friday keeps the streak going, albeit with only one matinee as the Chicago Cubs host the Milwaukee Brewers at 2:20 PM ET in Wrigley Field. Aaron Ashby takes the hill for Milwaukee while Keegan Thompson gets the ball for the home team. Ashby (12% rostered in ESPN leagues) profiles as the better pitcher and has a weaker offense to handle, so he gets the nod as a streamer, having fanned 25 hitters over his prior 22 1/3 innings. Thompson was pitching well heading into August, but a 7.30 ERA and 1.78 WHIP this month are too risky to trust, especially with a plethora of other options.

Nice breeze to left center today at Wrigley.
Cubs have been hitting well of late but not corresponding to an equivalent amount of runs.
I think the over might be in play with the wind. Its up to 9.5 -105 BetOnline.
