🔑 Cubs GM1 -1.5 +172 (FanDuel) 2u Brewers coming to Chicago after losing their winning streak in extras and have to play a DH…I think the Cubs smoke em in game 1 here. Horton has been awesome and should be able to keep the Brewers off the board. Before the brewers lost yesterday, the Cubs were their last loss before they ripped off like 100 straight Ws, love this spot for Chicago.
