The Cubs have a good chance of winning this game as they are the better team coming into this game and have the better starting pitcher. However, a problem the Cubs may have is the Athletics are slowly becoming a road team and that can help them out in this game. The problem is Lester can be a dominate force in the games so far and that should continue here. Final Score, Chicago Cubs win 6-4.
