For any long term clients or followers of RCS, you know that one angle we love to play is the "auto fade" of the Cubs Edwin Jackson, especially this season! Jackson's starts have been like our own private ATM machine and we aren't changing course at this point in the game. Honestly, this appears to be an even better spot than normal tonight as Jackson and the Cubs take on Jake Peavy and the San Francisco Giants. The first game of this series may have very well left a bad taste in the mouth of the Giants as the Cubs won 2-0 in a five inning rain shortened game. The interesting thing about last night's situation was the inability of the Cubs grounds crew to effectively get the tarp in place when the rains came and it rendered the field completely unplayable. While the Cubs are out of the playoff hunt, the Giants are in the thick of the wildcard/division race and that loss really stung. Peavy has enjoyed pretty good success against the Cubs through his career, posting a 7-5 mark with a 2.78 ERA. The Cubs are 3-13 in Jackson's last 16 starts vs. teams with a winning record and the Giants are 8-2 in their last 10 road games as a favorite of between -110 and -150. We aren't bucking those trends now and think the Giants are going to be steaming from last night's questionable results. The Sharps say...
3 UNITS - SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS (-130)
