- 7 Unit Play. Take #968 Chicago over New York (2:20p.m., Friday, July 31 MLB.tv) The Yankees just do not have a strong major league lineup now. Missing Judge, Bellinger, and Staton are too much for them to overcome in this game. They struggled in the last two games against the White Sox scoring just two ghost runner runs in their last 22 innings of action. Now they face a strong Cubs lineup and a strong starting pitcher in Shota Iwanaga. He will give up some hits, but he has allowed 2 runs over fewer in his last 5 starts. He should overpower this Yankee lineup, and we will lay the juice on Friday. The Cubs still have hope of catching the Brewers and these are the types of games they need to win. Lay the juice with the home team Friday.
