Market Moves 8/13
6:40 p.m. ET: Chicago Cubs at Cleveland Guardians (-155, 9)
The Guardians (70-49) won last night’s series opener 9-8, cashing as +105 home dogs. In tonight’s rematch, the Cubs (59-61) hand the ball to righty Javier Assad (5-3, 3.24 ERA) and the Guardians counter with lefty Matthew Boyd, who is making his 2024 debut. This line opened with Cleveland listed as a -125 home favorite and Chicago a +110 road dog. Sharps have pounced on the Guardians laying short chalk at home, steaming Cleveland up from -125 to -155. The Guardians are receiving roughly 65% of moneyline bets and dollars, indicating modest public support but also respected sharp action in the form of a 30-cent steam move in their favor. Cleveland has the better bats, hitting .241 with 138 homers and 551 runs scored compared to Chicago hitting .237 with 124 homers and 511 runs scored. The Cubs are 27-43 on the road. The Guardians are 36-20 at home. Cleveland is 49-22 (69%) with a 21% ROI as a favorite this season, the best chalk team in MLB. The Guardians are 32-13 (71%) with a 27% ROI as a non-division favorite. Assad has a 4.17 ERA on the road compared to 2.38 at home. Boyd is returning from an elbow injury. He made five minor league rehab starts, posting a 0.83 ERA in 21.1 innings pitched.
