Wrigley sets the stage for a low-scoring battle with a total of 7.5 that’s already drawing attention. The UNDER has hit in 4 of Pittsburgh’s last 5 and 6 of the Cubs’ last 8, pointing squarely toward a tight contest.
Jameson Taillon gets the ball for Chicago, countered by veteran lefty Andrew Heaney for the Bucs.
Chicago is a solid -200 favorite at home, with Pittsburgh listed at +175. Both lineups have been cold at the plate, and the wind forecast looks tame—another nod to the UNDER.
Lean: UNDER 7.5 (-120)
Bonus Angle: First 5 Innings UNDER 4 could offer added value.
