Moneyline

Cubs to win has a 60% probability

We may be projecting the Pirates as covering but the Cubs are still very much the team to beat in this one. A huge 60% probability of Chicago grabbing the dub again.

Over/Under

Total runs u9.5 has a 51% probability

The run line being set by the sportsbooks is looking pretty accurate right now but our model thinka the under is the more likely result. Keep an eye on this one and if you can grab a line higher than 9.5, then it should be played.

Dimers' take-out

The Pirates will like their chances after yesterday’s game but our model is still giving the Cubs the best chance. If you're keen to play, you can review the best legal online sportsbooks in your area, here.
