Neil Parker's expert pick: Cubs -1.5
Price: 44¢ (+129) at Polymarket
The wind is forecast to be blistering out at Wrigley Field, and the Chicago Cubs have paced the majors with 6.6 runs per game during their 12-4 heater while also ranking fourth in wOBA and seventh in xwOBA.
So, with the San Diego Padres sending righty Griffin Canning to the bump tonight, I’m anticipating another big night from the Chicago lineup.
Canning has surrendered a 52.1% hard-hit rate, which is tied for the lowest mark in the majors among pitchers with 40 innings, after all.

Joe Osborne's expert pick: Dodgers vs A's Under 10.5
Price: 50¢ (+100) at Polymarket
Eric Lauer has settled nicely into the Los Angeles Dodgers rotation, posting a 2.82 ERA in four appearances since coming over from Toronto. He's catching the Athletics at the right time, as they rank 27th in OPS over the past week.
On the other side, Gage Jump looks like a future ace, carrying a 2.04 ERA through six starts while coming off back-to-back scoreless outings. All six of his starts have resulted in the game total going Under.
The rookie draws a Dodgers lineup that's been shockingly bad against left-handed pitching, ranking 23rd vs. southpaws over the past month.
