Take #919 Chicago Cubs over Detroit Tigers
(MLB) Chi Cubs vs. Detroit,
Money Line: -119.00 Chi Cubs (Away)
Result: Loss
The Cubbies are trying to make a playoff push here. Smyly has a 5era, 1.38 WHIP on the year, but we expect him to bounce-back here today. Reese Olsen has a 5.27 ERA and 1.61 WHIP in his last three outings, so he is no stranger to baserunners or giving up runs. Chicago is 9-4 in its last 13 games on the road, and the Cubs are 3rd in OBP in MLB vs right-handed pitchers this season. Chicago is nipping at the Brewers heels in the NL Central and sitting in the last wildcard spot, so look for them to come out swinging today and get the W.
