Back to our wagon again as the books are giving us our glorious king at a playable price. Abbott has cashed this line in 16/19 games this season and will get a matchup with the Cubs, who have struggled of late vs lefties. The Cubs rank 7th on the year vs LHP, but over the last month, they rank bottom 5 vs lefties. The last 2 lefties the Cubs faced were Lodolo and Rogers, whom they scored a combined 1 run against. Abbott has seen this Cubs team twice already this season and has dominated them. In their 1st meeting, Abbott allowed 6 hits and 1 ER, and then followed that up with an impressive 1 hit, 0 ER outing at Wrigley Field. Abbott has been our wagon all season, so there is no reason not to go right back to him here.

Under 8-110
