Baltimore at Chicago

August 2, 2025
img2:20 PM Eastern

Chicago has won the past four meetings by a combined score of 22-2, dating to last season, following Friday's 1-0 victory. Ian Happ hit a sacrifice fly in the second inning, and the Orioles were held to three hits. The Cubs have won nine of 13 home games, and they have gone UNDER 13 of 20 against American League opponents. The Cubs are 5-0 in Matthew Boyd's past five home starts versus teams with losing records. Baltimore is 1-7 in its past eight road games against teams with .600 home winning percentages, and it has lost Tomoyuki Sugano's past four starts following a quality start in his previous outing. The wind will be blowing straight in from center field at eight mph at Wrigley Field. The Orioles are 36-19-1 UNDER on the road this season. Take the Cubs and the UNDER.
