Join Discord for earlier access: https://discord.gg/HjKxYKdSUy Wrigley has 75 degrees with a 17 mph wind blowing out, which is why this total is already living near 11.5. Cincinnati starts Chase Petty after a 6-inning MLB sample that showed a 19.50 ERA and 3.667 WHIP. Cabrera is 3-0 with a 3.06 ERA, but a 1.1886 WHIP keeps traffic in play in this park.
