*MLB odds as of Friday morning
There’s one early game on Friday’s MLB odds board: Milwaukee Brewers vs. Chicago Cubs at 2:20 p.m. ET.
Afternoon action at Wrigley Field often means windy weather as well, and that’s exactly the case for Friday’s matinee.
The key questions for bettors are what direction is the wind blowing, how strong are the breezes and what exactly does that mean historically in similar situations?
Thankfully, we have the Action Network’s MLB PRO betting systems to tell us exactly what we need to know.
MLB Pick for Brewers vs. Cubs
According to the latest forecast, steady 9-10 mph winds are expected throughout Friday’s Brewers vs. Cubs matchup.
And as I mentioned above, the most important factor for bettors is which direction the wind is blowing.
Obviously, 9-10 mph breezes blowing straight out to center would be a boon for scoring, while winds driving toward home plate could knock down potential homeruns into long fly-ball outs.
When it comes to Brewers vs. Cubs on Friday, it’s the latter.
The Action Network’s MLB weather data is calling for 9-10 mph winds blowing in from center field, making this game a match for our Weather: Wind Blowing In PRO System.
Unders fitting this system’s criteria have produced a record of 1,176-976-103 (55%) dating back to the 2005 MLB season.
There are certainly strategies and systems with flashier overall win rates, but it’s tough to argue with the 2,255-game sample size.
Further, DraftKings is offering this total a half-run better than the current consensus, so be sure to shop for the best odds if playing Friday’s Brewers vs. Cubs under.
