(FD) This is mostly a bet against Singer, who has been awful (4.84 SIERA/6.18 xERA). Rea has bee more than a run better (3.57/4.43). I also give the Cubs a near 30 point wRC+ edge (127/116 Hm/v RHP vs 79/91 – proj. LU 121 vs 97 vs RHP since LY). Proj. defense 19 FRV edge for CHC and bullpen estimators full run better. I have full game and F5 rated evenly. Flip a coin. Split it. (Good to -180)

Under 8.5-125
