Chicago Cubs @ San Francisco Giants(-1.5)
DK +164
FD +168
MLB Best Bet Season Record: 58-66
This is a Best Bet that should be a single up the middle. The Cubs simply cannot score. They have been struggling offensively and defensively, especially in the past two weeks. AS a team they're slashing .229/.310/.340. The Giants are hitting well in that same period of time, slashing .259/.338/.410, along with pitching well. In the month of June their ERA does not tell the full story of how well the Giants have been tossing. They have a team FIP of 3.89 and a very high groundball rate of 49.5%. The BABIP luck has gone against them but that will normalize, especially against a team that simply is having issues putting the bat on the ball.
The Cubs are trotting out Hayden Wesneski, who is very mediocre in all aspects besides extension. The Giants mash the hell out of fastballs and Wesneski's fastballs simply aren't efficient. The Sweeper is a decent pitch, but when a batter gets a hold of it, it goes flying.
Singles up the middle.
