Marlins, Cubs Pick & Betting Analysis
For Tuesday night’s Marlins-Cubs game, we’re betting under the total. This marks the second game in the series, and our proprietary PRO Projections highlight the total as one of the best bets today.
While the official over/under is set at 8 runs, our PRO Projections suggest the fair total should be closer to 7.52, indicating a lean toward the under.
Adding to this insight, our MLB Weather tab notes a 6 MPH wind blowing in from left field at Wrigley Field — a stadium well known for how wind patterns can influence scoring.
The combination of weather conditions and pitching matchups often dampens run production here.
We’ve also recorded back-to-back steam moves on the total via Bet Labs, which shows the Marlins vs. Cubs under getting blasted at a domestic sportsbook.
Interestingly, despite both the Cubs and the Marlins ranking second and third, respectively, in games going over the total this season, sharp bettors and top experts using the Action App are also favoring the under.
Pick: Under 8
Moneyline
I don't have a bet on either side in this Tuesday night tilt.
Run Line (Spread)
Like the moneyline, I'm staying away from the run line in this National League showdown.
Over/Under
My best bet for this game is for both teams to stay under the total. The wind is blowing in at Wrigley Field, which has been a profitable angle in MLB betting.
