MLB | May 02, 2024 Cubs vs Mets |
Cubs -102 at SC Consensus |

Play Type: Premium | ||
Rating: 2 Units Chicago is right in the thick of the NL Central race as they get ready to open up their series with the Brewers Friday afternoon. The Cubs are missing several key pieces with Justin Steele, Kyle Hendricks, Drew Smyly and Jordan Wicks missing from the pitching staff while Cody Bellinger along with Seiya Suzuki are out of the lineup. Still, the Cubs still keep putting runs on the board and finding ways to hang in games. New York has struggled at putting runs on the board and Houser has had major issues when it comes to his control. Until we see him turn in a couple solid outings, you have to fade him accordingly. Give the Cubs the advantage here on getaway day. |

MLB | May 02, 2024 Giants vs Red Sox |
Red Sox -105 at circa |
|
Play Type: Premium | ||
Rating: 2 Units There is a common bet trend to fade teams when it appears they will go for a bullpen game, with several different pitchers heading out to the mound for limited innings. The belief is that they do not have one of their powerful starting pitchers on the mound, and the backup team will get hammered by the opposing offense. It is not a bad thought, but it will not work here. Having a bullpen game is not a scary thought when your team literally has the best ERA in baseball. The Red Sox have the best ERA in the majors by a wide margin, as they have a 2.59 ERA and the next best is the Mariners at 3.03. Winckowski has started the past two bullpen games, only pitching in three innings, but both games were wins as they went 17-0 over the Cubs and 6-1 over the Pirates. On top of this, the Giants have been struggling to score lately, as they have scored three or less runs in five straight games. The best bullpen in baseball will flex its muscles here. |
