This is a 10* TOTAL BOOKIEKILLER on the OVER Cubs/Giants.

Both teams have been playing to several lower-scoring games of late, but we're expecting those trends to end this evening.

The Cubs have seen the total go UNDER in five straight after yesterday's 4-2 victory here.

That's significant to note here for us though, as Chicago has seen the total go OVER the number in eight of its last 11 after playing to five or more straight UNDERS in a row.

San Francisco has seen the total go UNDER in two straight after winning the opener of this series by an identical 4-2 score.

Regardless, as we mentioned, everything points to a slug-fest on Saturday finally.

The Cubs Drew Smyly is 3-5 with a 3.93 ERA, while the Giants Jake Junis is 4-2 with a 2.98 ERA.

Each has admittedly been solid this year, but this is more a case of each being in the wrong place at the wrong time tonight.

We feel that the overall situation, combined with these numbers/trends listed above, all point to the OVER as the correct call in this one.

Good luck, NP
