Play: Money Line: -120 Chicago Cubs
Joe D is RED HOT in ALL SPORTS going 4-1 this week. I have posted winners for today’s MLB (16-5 RUN), NBA (66.6% RUN), & WNBA (5-2 RUN) along with tomorrow’s NHL. Get on my HOT STREAK & SCORCH THE BOOKS. Chicago Cubs. Game 959. 7:05 PM PST/10:05 PM EST. The Cubs took Game 1 of this series yesterday with authority, besting the Giants, 5-1. This is a team that took over the National League Central for a short time, before struggling a bit. But it seems they’re finding their legs once again, winning back-to-back games for the first time since the end of May. They currently sit in the third place in the division at 36-34, 7.5-games back. There is no question that they are a little bit stronger at home than they are in the road. But they are facing a team in the San Francisco Giants that just can’t seem to do anything right. The Giants, at 28-42, sit in fourth place in the National League West, 16.0-games back. They possess one of the poorest home records in the N.L. at 13-19 at Oracle Park this season. To be quite honest, this team is in real trouble. Statistically, they rank 21st in scoring and 23rd in team ERA. That is not a combination for success. Today’s starters are scheduled to be Brown and McDonald. The Chicago right-hander is 2-2 with a 1.74 ERA on the campaign. The San Francisco right-hander is 2-3 with a 4.15 ERA this season. Brown has not allowed a single opponent to put a better than three earned runs in any of his outings this season, between starting or relieving, and on the road, he owns an ERA of just 1.47. McDonald doesn’t possess the worst numbers. However, he has struggled at a home, going just 1-2 with a whopping ERA of 5.29. As I mentioned earlier, the Cubs are starting to find their rhythm again, and what better team to face than one of the worst squads in baseball. Take Chicago. Thank you.
