26-18 IN LAST 44 MLB ML PICKS
Zack's Analysis: The octane Chicago Cubs have scored a whopping thirty six runs over their past two wins against the Cincinnati Reds. They are also victorious in ten of their last twelve games. Expect the runs to continue as Luke Weaver is coming off a rare quality start against the LA Dodgers. The hot bats continue for the Cubs.
Pick Made:Thu 9:56 PM UTC
Mike's Analysis: We played the over on this total Wednesday and it cashed with ease. These two teams have combined to score at least 22 runs in both games of this series and I expect both to score plenty again Thursday. Starting for the Reds will be Luke Weaver, who has a 6.80 ERA and a 1.60 WHIP. The Cubs have averaged 7.9 runs over their last 12 games, so he is in trouble. Taking the mound for the Cubs will be Jameson Taillon, who has a 5.46 ERA and a 1.37 WHIP. While he has held right-handed hitters to a .279 wOBA this season, lefties have a .388 wOBA against him. That could spell doom against Joey Votto, Jake Fraley, Will Benson and TJ Friedl. I’m on the over again.
