Wrigley Field was pumped for the return of Jake Arrieta, who made his first start in Chicago since the 2016 World Series on Monday and did enough to help the Phillies stay in the contest long enough to win the game off the Cubs’ bullpen. This game likely won’t be anywhere near as hyped but can the Cub keep the momentum going and give bettors value at -132? Dan Jamison doesn’t think so and tells why with his MLB pick for tonight.

The Red Sox and the Astros will go at it again at Fenway in the second game of a three-game set.

The key to the Astros’ success? The hot bats of Alex Bregman and George Springer. Bregman has nine home runs in May, and there’s still two weeks to go in the month.
