Matchup: San Francisco Giants (Robbie Ray, LHP) at Chicago Cubs (Ben Brown, RHP)

Time: 2:20 PM EST Location: Wrigley Field, Chicago, IL

Moneyline: Giants +140, Cubs -166

Pitching Matchup:

• Robbie Ray (Giants): Ray is a seasoned veteran looking to anchor the Giants’ rotation. Key to his success will be commanding his fastball and slider.
• Ben Brown (Cubs): Brown is a promising young right-hander. Control and limiting walks will be crucial for him against a Giants lineup that can be patient at the plate.

Giants Overview:

The Giants have been somewhat inconsistent this season. Their offense can be streaky, and they will need to find a way to get runners on base and take advantage of scoring opportunities against Brown. Keep an eye on their outfield defense.

Cubs Overview:

The Cubs are having a solid season so far. Their offense has been relatively consistent, and they will be looking to take advantage of Ray early in the game.

Key Matchup:

The Giants’ ability to get on base against Brown will be a crucial factor in this game.

Prediction:

The Cubs, playing at home and with Brown on the mound, have a slight advantage.

Pick: Cubs (-166)
