Red Sox vs Cubs Preview, Parlay
Cubs Moneyline
The Cubs opened the second half with a convincing game one win over the Red Sox and look to build on that momentum tonight. They'll hand the ball to ace Shota Imanaga, who has been stellar this season with a 2.65 ERA.
Imanaga has been in great form, allowing two runs or fewer in three of his last four outings. With the Cubs offense clicking and a favorable matchup against Red Sox starter Brayan Bello, Chicago is well-positioned for another strong showing.
Kyle Tucker 1+ Hit
The All-Star has been outstanding in his first season with the Cubs, continuing to produce at a high level. Tucker has recorded a hit in seven of his last nine games.
With a favorable matchup against a right-handed pitcher tonight, the veteran is in a great spot to stay hot at the plate.
