Vegas Play of the Day: Chicago Cubs at Los Angeles Angels

We've reset the Play of the Day with fresh bankrolls and turned it into a yearly competition. Our three sports writers have re-started with $10,000 bankrolls to continue using on odds from the South Point.

Chicago Cubs minus-1.5 runs at plus-125 at Los Angeles Angels: $600 to win $750

Chicago opened the season Monday with an example of why it’s one of the favorites to win this year’s World Series. So while they’re not all going to be as easy as a 9-0 stomping, I think the offense is going to keep some of that rolling today against the Angels’ Andrew Heaney.

The Cubs will go with Jon Lester, who had a middling first season in Chicago, but all I need out of him is a middling start. Chicago’s hitters are seeing the ball well right now, and I might try to ride the wave for a month or two.

Current Standings (as of July 1): Brewer (43-34-2, $12,230), Keefer (41-50-2, $7,372), Bern (29-35, $6,565)

Lifetime standings: 2014-15 Champion Bern (108-109-1), Keefer (124-132-4), Brewer (112-121-4)
