The Cubs enter this game having gone 48-39 to the UNDER and they won't have to face Luis Rengifo here. His .315 batting average, six home runs and 25 RBIs will be missed by the Angels. Jose Soriano gets the start for LA and he's posted a nice 3.77 ERA on the season. He's actually been even better on the road this season posting a 2.86 ERA in 50 innings pitched. Chicago ranks 15th in the leage in OBP while the Angels are 24th. All of this adds up to a lower-than-expected scoring day. Take the UNDER.

The Chicago Cubs have not been playing well, but they did win their last game vs. the Phillies. I think there is some deeply hidden value in this Cubs team. Overall, the Cubs are just 23-20 at home during the season. While this team has done a poor job against the better teams, the Cubs are 9-1 at home when posted as a favorite from -150 and up. After losing Otani to free agency, the Angels knew they were in for a long season. The Angels are just 36-50 on the season. The value in this one is playing against an Angels team that is 4-10 in their last 14 road games. Make the play on the Chicago Cubs.

Chicago at Los Angeles
June 8, 2023
9:38 PM Eastern
The Angels' 33-30 record is only good enough for third place in the AL West. The Angels are riding a three-game winning streak where they have allowed a total of seven runs. The Cubs are riding a three-game losing streak with an offense that has gone cold, topping the three-run mark just twice in their last nine games. Drew Smyly is on the bump today and Chicago has dropped each of his past two road starts, allowing a combined 13 runs. Smyly is just 1-4 in his last five starts vs. Los Angeles with a 5.79 ERA. I like the Angels in this one.
