Expert Betting Tips
I'm going to stay with the Chicago Cubs, but regardless of who wins, this ought to be a really interesting matchup for the starters. Assad has been dominant on the mound in the month of August, allowing just five earned runs across 16.2 innings of work across three starts. Regarding Faedo, he has allowed three runs that were earned in the past 15.2 innings that he has pitched, but he hasn't spent much time recently on the field. Despite this, I believe that both of the starters will perform well in the first game. The offense of the Chicago Cubs continues to be productive, as evidenced by the fact that they have scored at least three runs in each of the previous ten games. Therefore, in a match that will see many points scored, the Chicago Cubs should get going in game one.
