Luckily, the Cubs are avoiding the like of Trevor Bauer and Sonny Gray tonight, who have a significantly better chance of shutting them down than Tyler Mahle does.
Chicago is a -128 favorite with a team total of 4.5. You can ignore the standard team total, though, as you're essentially getting over 0.5 (+100). Can't find better odds than that!
WIN $50 IF THE CUBS SCORE 1 OR MORE RUNS TONIGHT VS. THE REDS!
