Brewers vs Cubs Prediction, Betting Analysis
Jameson Taillon’s start got pushed back due to the rain, but I’m going right back to his under here, as this projects as a brutal strikeout matchup for him.
Taillon has struck out just 16.3% of righties this season, and while this Brewers projected lineup has just four lefties, two of those lefties have strikeout rates below 18% against right-handed pitching since the start of last season.
So, I’m targeting Taillon under 4.5 strikeouts on Thursday.
I’m +23.99u on MLB picks in the last 3 days, so get more selections here on RotoGrinders!
Pick: Jameson Taillon Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-115)
Moneyline
I don’t have a play on the moneyline for this Brewers vs. Cubs afternoon affair.
Run Line (Spread)
There’s no value on the run line, either.
Over/Under
I don’t have a play on the total, but I’m playing Jameson Taillon under 4.5 strikeouts at -115.
