Analysis
The Chicago Cubs begin Monday's series against the Miami Marlins at loanDepot park with a strong momentum from their recent four-game sweep against the White Sox that improved their record to 28–19. The Marlins are battling through difficulties with a record of 18–27 and losing 11 games out of their most recent 14 contests. The Cubs' starting pitcher Ben Brown enters the game with a career record of 3 wins and 3 losses and a 4.75 ERA. He has maintained strong performances recently with a 2.76 ERA through his last three starts and allowed only two runs in his most recent game against Miami. The Marlins will send Edward Cabrera to the mound against the Cubs with a 0–1 record and a 5.52 ERA. Edward Cabrera makes his return to the pitching rotation after recovering from a blister problem. The Cubs lead the MLB in offensive performance with an average of 5.7 runs per game which secures their position as MLB's second-ranked team. The productive Cubs lineup with Pete Crow-Armstrong and Seiya Suzuki will likely challenge Edward Cabrera early in the game. The Marlins are currently scoring an average of 4.2 runs in each game but show significant inconsistency with their batting performance. I’m going to lay the Run line here today with the Cubs. It doesn’t hurt to have baseball’s top scoring team on your side against a struggling Marlins team. Jim’s Play: Take: 953. Cubs -1.5 runs
