Chicago Cubs
Lester pitched a gem against their division rival, the St. Louis Cardinals while he picked up his second win of the season. He was able to pitch six shutout-innings only giving up two hits while striking out seven and walking one.
His strikeouts (7.97 K/9) are slightly down, while the walks (3.54 BB/9) are slightly up, but Lester really hasn’t been too rusty. The home runs have really be non-existent as he’s only given up one home run in 20.1 innings of work. His .305 BABIP is right around where it should be, while his ERA and FIP are sitting at a solid 3.10 and 3.52, respectively.

4* Free MLB Betting Pick: Cubs +118
Lester looked good in his last start and should be able to hold his own against a Cleveland lineup that is only slashing .211/.286/.316 against lefties. Bauer has been great, but after three quality starts in a row, he is due for a doozy against a hot Chicago lineup.
