It’s another classic "Wrigley Wind" day on the North Side.
The weather report is calling for 5-to-7 MPH winds blowing right-to-left across the field for the Cubs' 2:20 PM ET game against the Reds at Wrigley Field.
Given how strongly the wind affects Wrigley's scoring environment, we could see a lower-scoring ballgame.

As you might know, totals at Wrigley can swing wildly depending on which way the wind is blowing, and Unders are particularly profitable when the wind is blowing either in or across the field.
We have an Action PRO System dedicated to tracking this exact phenomenon — specifically for afternoon games.
Action PRO System: Wrigley Field Unders
Since 2005, Unders are 225-131-17 in afternoon games at Wrigley Field when the wind is blowing either across the field or in from center (given the total closes above 8 runs).
As our own Evan Abrams writes:
This system capitalizes on early-day Wrigley Field games where wind patterns are not conducive to home runs. Wrigley is one of the most wind-sensitive stadiums in MLB, and games played in the afternoon with crosswinds or wind blowing in tend to suppress scoring. When the closing total is moderately high (8+), there's additional value on the under, especially when bettors and bookmakers may not fully adjust for park-specific weather effects.
It might be worth taking a look at the Under for this game, given the conditions.
Pick: Under 8.5 (52c, Kalshi)
