MIKE'S BREWERS/CUBS MLB FREE PICK

This looks like a good spot to back the Chicago Cubs to bounce back from a 7-6 loss to the Mets in New York. 

Cubs right-hander Hayden Wesneski is 2-0 with a 0.87 ERA in his three starts this season while Brewers righty Joe Ross is 0-3 with an ugly ERA of 7.80 in his last three starts. 

I would not be surprised if the Brewers come in flat here after putting up a combined 15 runs in their last two games.

2* FREE PICK ON THE CUBS.

Friday MLB Free play. My selection is on the 'under' between San Diego and Arizona at 9:40 pm et on Friday.

Neither of these teams have been in top form at the plate with the Padres ranking 24th in the majors in OPS over the last seven days and the Diamondbacks checking in just ahead of them in 20th. Only four teams have been worse than Arizona in terms of OPS against right-handed pitching and it will be facing a pretty good one in Padres starter Dylan Cease on Friday. Note that current D'Backs hitters are a combined 7-for-33 off of Cease with just one extra-base hit. Cease has posted a 2.80 FIP and 0.87 WHIP in six starts this season - clearly adjusting well to the move to the National League. Slade Cecconi will counter for Arizona. Only five current Padres hitters have seen the right-hander and they've combined to collect just one hit in six at-bats. Cecconi has made two starts this season logging a 2.89 FIP and 0.50 WHIP (small sample size I know). I came away encouraged by his last start as he struck out a career-high eight hitters over six innings against the Mariners. The potential has always been there for Cecconi to rack up the K's but he hasn't been able to put it together. Neither bullpen has been lights out this season but both should benefit from the day off yesterday. Note that the D'Backs have been one of the better 'under' bets in baseball so far this season with a 13-18-1 o/u mark. Take the under.
