Chicago Cubs have done well in Cole Hamels last 4 starts on the road going a perfect 4-0. Cole Hamels last year was one of the best fades on the mound almost always getting bettors plus money the other way but this year Cole is a total different pitcher as he is getting back to old form.
Cole comes into the huge inter-league game on Monday 4-0 with a 3.38 ERA 60 strike outs and 22 walks. Cole is off a game where he lasted just 4 innings at home and gave up 9 hits and 3 runs so that helps us with the plus money value here. Look for Cole to go 7 innings in this big Astros start.

Cubs are off a rough series with the Reds and Phillies as this team went a lackluster 5-5 in their previous 10 games. Houston is also coming in off a stinker of a game getting beat down by the Red Sox which not to many people expected with Verlander on the mound for Houston.
Gerrit Cole comes in at 4-5 on the year with a 4.11 ERA so his ERA is not to great but his strike outs to walks is spectacular. Gerrit Cole has 100 strike outs to just 17 walks and has been a great number 2 starter to Verlander's ace status.
