Good Afternoon PreGamers!
Sunday Bases
Chicago Cubs - 135 ~ Cubs Skipper Joe Maddon is still getting to know the NL but one thing is for certain, he is very familiar with the opposing pitcher on Sunday in Jeremy Hellickson who pitched for Maddon for 4 years in Tampa. Hellickson has struggled so far in 2015, especially in 4 starts at Chase Field. The righty has yielded 16 ER in just 19 innings of work in Arizona; he has gone 0-2 with a 7.45 ERA and 1.97 WHIP. Opposing line-ups are hitting a lofty .329 BA against him whilst drawing 10 walks to just 14 strike outs. Left handed batters have smoked Hellickson to the sound of .389 BAA and 2.59 WHIP. In contrast, Jason Hammel has been outstanding this season, especially in the month of May where he has compiled stingy numbers that consist of a 1.98 ERA and 0.82 WHIP as well as a 0.186 BAA. In a Cubs uniform, Hammel is 11-6 with a 2.89 ERA and 0.98 WHIP and has really been one of the most consistent performers for them over the last 2 years. I rarely lay more than (-130) on road teams but I really like the value we are getting with the Cubs on Sunday.
