Giants vs Cubs Picks, Best Bet
Moneyline: Cubs ML
In Tuesday’s matchup, I’m backing the Cubs to win against the Giants in a small negative correlation parlay.
The Cubs are on top of the NL Central and will look to continue their good spell. They also have the pitching advantage tonight, as Colin Rea is 2-0 with an outstanding 1.46 ERA.
With a better pitcher and home advantage, this is a clear pick.
San Francisco Giants Player Prop: Justin Verlander Over 16.5 Outs
The other parlay piece will be Justin Verlander’s Outs prop.
He’s eclipsed this prop line in five consecutive starts despite not earning a single win.
His ERA is relatively high (4.38), but the Giants trust him and tend to leave him out on the mound for a while.
