ANAHEIM–The Chicago Cubs came in on Monday night’s opener and spared no prisoners as they demolished the Los Angels 9-0 at Angels Stadium behind the Cubs pitching of starter Jake Arieta who went seven innings, gave up  two hits, and struck six batters. I can now see why the Cubs are 4-1 favorites to win the World Series.

The Cubs have a terrific pitching staff you talk about Arieta who shutout the Angels. It was the first time the Angels were shutout in an opening night game in Anaheim in 14 years and 9-0 at that. The Cubs are a dream team most of their guys are under 25 years old Jorge Soler, Kyle Schwarber, Kris Bryant who was rookie of the year last year and there’s Anthony Rizzo who can produce 100 runs.
