All 30 MLB teams will play on Tuesday night and we’re going to go with Jake Arrieta despite his recent struggles. What better way to cure your slump then to pitch at Petco Park in San Diego. Arrieta was dominant in Oakland a few weeks ago and the Cubs return to the West Coast on a roll. Chicago is -250 favorites, so Arrieta is a must start. Mike Zunino and Justin Smoak will be our bargain plays tonight and we’ll take a shot with Justin Turner against Madison Bumgarner. Contest starts at 7:05 ET.
