Cubs vs Twins Preview, Picks
The Revenge Spot Favorites system in MLB moneyline betting backs strong teams that recently lost to the same opponent by a narrow margin, and while the Twins beat Chicago by a score of 8-1 yesterday, the Cubs still fit our revenge model in today's matchup.
These are teams with winning records, solid average margins of victory, and a moderate level of favorability in the market.
The setup looks for clubs in a groove — on a defined home or away stretch — deep enough into the season to have established identity and motivation.
When these teams re-enter a matchup after dropping the previous head-to-head by just a few runs, they often carry added focus, especially when still priced as the better team.
This system leans into that bounce-back edge where both form and motivation align. So, we'll take Chicago in tonight's matchup.
