MLB FREE PICK FROM MIKE LUNDIN

The Chicago Cubs will no doubt be fired up for this game after back-to-back losses to the Reds. 

Here they'll face Cincinnati right-hander Anthony DeSclafani (2-1, 4.60 ERA) who will make just his fourth start of the season. He limited Pittsburgh to a pair of runs (both solo homers) in 5 2/3 innings his last time out in his longest outing since returning from the disabled list. We can however note that the 28 year old as allowed plenty of baserunners with 19 hits and four walks allowed through 15 2/3 innings of work. Current Cubbies are hitting a combined .270 in 74 at bats off DeSclafani.

The Cubs hand the ball to Luke Farrell (2-2, 3.63 ERA) who will make his first start of the season and the second of his career. He did however impress in his longest outing of the season, five shutout innings against the Mets earlier this month.

Reds are 10-23 in their last 33 home games vs. a team with a winning record. Cubs are 8-3 in their last 11 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400.

MLB 3-PACK

The Orioles opened this series with a 10-7 triumph, but runs and wins have both been few and far between for Baltimore of late, having lost 11 of its last 14 games. 

Baltimore right-hander Dylan Bundy (5-7, 3.81 ERA) was tagged with four runs on five hits with a pair of homers in six innings his last time out, although it's worth noting he had tossed a combined 15 scoreless innings in his last two starts prior to that. 

Julio Teheran (5-4, 3.97 ERA) takes the ball for Atlanta. He fanned 11 through a six inning no-hitter against the Padres his last time out before getting pulled with a minor cramping issue. The Braves are 7-1 in Teheran’s last eight home starts. 

Under is 10-1 in Orioles last 11 interleague games vs. a team with a winning record. Under is 9-2 in Braves last 11 home games.

Atlanta's bats should be able to do more damage than the O's and enough to win a low-scoring game. 

8* play on UNDER.

SATURDAY MONEYLINE MASSACRE TOP PLAY

The Philadelphia Phillies opened this series with a 12-2 romp to make it five wins through their last six games. They're 9-2 in right-hander Aaron Nola's (8-2, 2.55 ERA) last 11 starts, and he has held opponents to one run or fewer in six of his previous eight turns despite getting knocked around his last time out. 

The Nationals have dropped eight of 11 and 25 year old right-hander Erick Fedde (0-2, 5.63 ERA) could be in for a tough game here in his fourth start of the season. Fedde has served up eight homers through 31 1/3 career innings and here he'll face a Phillies team which has scored a total of 42 runs through their last six games. 

Phillies are 7-1 in their last 8 games vs. a right-handed starter.

SATURDAY WORLD CUP TOTAL *TOP PLAY*

Reigning world champions Germany are in a "must-win" situation after 1-0 loss to Mexico. We have seen several of the top nations struggle to break down weaker opposition here in the World Cup, and here Germany will face a Sweden side happy to sit deep and try to soak up the pressure in hopes of a 0-0 draw as they already have three points in the bag since beating South Korea. Sweden offer very little going forward though, and their goal against South Korea was their first in 402 minutes of international football. They defend very well though, and only one of Sweden's last 10 games has had more than two goals.
