Why This Makes Sense
-Chicago is rolling at home (42-25) and just took a tight one from Atlanta. With Shota Imanaga on the mound (3.08 ERA, 0.93 WHIP), the Cubs hold the clear pitching edge against Joey Wentz.
The Braves have dropped 4 of their last 5 and continue to struggle on the road, while the Cubs’ offense and bullpen both rank near the top of the league.
Laying the run line at Wrigley offers solid value — Cubs should have the bats and arms to pull away.

6:40 PM EST
Rotation # 951-952
Dodgers/Pirates Under 8.5 runs
Kershaw/Mlodzinski
The Pirates have one of the worst batting averages in baseball against left-handers. It won’t get any easier tonight against Clayton Kershaw. Pirates starter Carmen Mlodzinski has looked great in his last few appearances and will be a solid starter if he can last more than a few innings per appearance. The Dodgers become just an average offense away from home. Both teams will need to earn their runs tonight at PNC Park. Look for a solid pitchers’ duel. Take the Under.
