The streaking Cubs are now 6-1 in their last seven games. Jake Arrieta will look to keep the hot streak going as he takes the mound tonight. The lefty has given up a homer in his last four starts, but has gone at least six innings with two earned runs allowed or fewer in his last three.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the D-backs &#8211; losers in three of their last four &#8211; will be aiming to bounce back with starter Zack Godley. Despite a couple of rocky outings last month, the 27-year-old has been one of Arizona&#8217;s most reliable pitchers this season. He just had his best outing of the year as he pitched seven shutout innings in a 4-0 win over the St. Louis Cardinals in his last start.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Writer&#8217;s Prediction:<\/strong>\u00a0Godley turns in another strong performance as the\u00a0D-backs (<a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/baseball\/mlb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>+145<\/strong><\/a>) slow the Cubs down.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Tampa Bay Rays vs. Houston Astros (8:10 PM ET)<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Line:<\/strong> Tampa Bay Rays (<a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/baseball\/mlb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>+180<\/strong><\/a>)\u00a0at Houston Astros (<a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/baseball\/mlb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>-210<\/strong><\/a>); total <a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/baseball\/mlb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>9.0<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/baseball\/mlb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>view all MLB lines<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Houston Astros\u2019 mediocre stretch continued as they lost 6-4 last night to the Tampa Bay Rays. The runaway AL leaders are now just 9-8 since the All-Star break. Ace Dallas Keuchel will be on the mound to help them get back on track tonight. However, he\u2019s coming off his worst start of the year as he gave up three runs on six hits and issued three walks in just three innings against the Detroit Tigers. The Astros still won that game, though, extending their win streak when Keuchel has started to 10 games.<\/p>\n<p>Tampa Bay&#8217;s Austin Pruitt will have the unenviable task of going toe-to-toe with the Cy Young candidate as he makes his third start of the season. Pruitt&#8217;s last start didn&#8217;t go too well as he was rocked for five runs on four hits (three home runs) in five innings against the New York Yankees. That poor outing ballooned the reliever cum starter&#8217;s season ERA to 6.63.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Writer&#8217;s Prediction:<\/strong>\u00a0Keuchel and the Astros\u00a0(<a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/baseball\/mlb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>-210<\/strong><\/a>) bounce back to top Tampa Bay.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/record.tbaffiliate.com\/_y8k7RB3Ll4xutv7iXV6HvmNd7ZgqdRLk\/6\" class=\"broken_link\" rel=\"nofollow\">Create a betting account now<\/a>, and don\u2019t forget to bet on today\u2019s best games.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/record.tbaffiliate.com\/_y8k7RB3Ll4xutv7iXV6HvmNd7ZgqdRLk\/22\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-119725\" src=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/BASEBALL-BANNERS620x110.gif\" alt=\"baseball-banners620x110\" width=\"620\" height=\"110\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"pvc_stats all \" data-element-id=\"146489\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> &nbsp;1,991&nbsp;total views, &nbsp;1&nbsp;views today<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More great MLB action is here to help you get through Hump Day.
