Chicago Cubs Analysis

The Chicago Cubs have emerged as a surprise team in baseball, leading the NL Central Division for much of the season. They recently faced off against their crosstown rival, the White Sox, and secured victories in the first two games of the series. Righty Colin Rea, a notable offseason acquisition, will take the mound in the final game. Despite some key injuries, the Cubs have displayed strong offensive performance, ranking #3 in the league. Overall, the Cubs have a power ranking of 11 and a record of 26-19.

White Sox's Cannon Shines but Cubs' Rea Key to Victory in Upcoming Game

Cannon has consistently performed well as a pitcher for the White Sox, despite receiving limited support leading to a lack of wins. The Cubs, on the other hand, have had success with Rea as a full-time starter, boasting a 4-1 record in his recent starts. Their offensive production has also been superior to the White Sox, with significantly more home runs and a higher team batting average. As the Cubs have historically struggled on the road and during day games, their recent success with Rea indicates a strong possibility of victory in the upcoming game to conclude the series. Therefore, a favorable decision would be to support the Cubs with a Moneyline bet.
