The Cubs are positioned to have a breakout day at the dish and have scored 24 runs across their past four games. Of course, the Pirates have also been dangerous with a deeper and more potent lineup than years past and rank seventh in wOBA against lefties to start the season.

Chicago will receive a boost with Seiya Suzuki making his season debut this afternoon, and the Cubbies have also been on the unlucky side to start the year with ranks of second in hard-hit rate and sixth in barrel percentage leading to a 25th-ranked BABIP. Additionally, Pittsburgh righty Carmen Mlodzinski has surrendered a 68.0% hard-hit rate through two starts, and three of his five offerings have negative pitch values.

Betting Analyst

Let’s keep riding these Kansas City Royals Unders. They’ve moved to 9-4 to the Under and have scored just three runs over their last three games, all without facing top-end pitching. Bobby Witt can't get it going, and the middle of the order has yet to find any power. The White Sox are still a Bottom-5 offense. This sets up similarly to yesterday’s 2-0 game, with another comparable starting pitching matchup on tap against the Chicago White Sox. Conditions also lean Under, with temperatures still below 60 degrees and winds now blowing in at 10 mph after blowing out at 20 mph last night. This number looks a bit inflated and should close closer to a flat 8.

Carter Jensen's exit velocity on flyballs has fallen off recently; his 93.4-mph seasonal mark has fallen to 84.9-mph over the past 7 days.
