Chicago Cubs
Moneyline Pick - Chicago Cubs (-155): B

The Chicago Cubs return home Thursday aiming to extend their two-game winning streak as they face the Cleveland Guardians. This prediction leans toward a Cubs victory, with the bet focusing on Chicago’s strong recent play and the Guardians’ injury concerns. The pick is for the Cubs to win outright, reflecting their lineup’s success against left-handed pitching and a rested bullpen behind a reliable home starter. With Cleveland missing key rotation and bullpen arms, Chicago has a clear edge in both depth and momentum.

Looking at this matchup, it’s hard not to trust the Cubs to deliver. Their offence has been clicking, and they’ve capitalized on favourable splits when facing lefties all season. Betting on Chicago feels like the right move, especially with the pressure squarely on an undermanned Cleveland squad trying to keep pace in the AL Wild Card chase. The Cubs have the tools to control the game early and late, making this prediction a confident one. This prediction gets a B grade. Continue following us for more expert picks and bets.

Over/Under Pick - Over 8.5 (-110): B

The Cubs and Guardians square off Thursday at Wrigley Field, where warm summer air and a steady breeze set the stage for plenty of scoring. Chicago enters on a two-game winning streak, while Cleveland has dropped six straight and arrives short-handed on the pitching front. This prediction leans toward a high-scoring contest, as the bet focuses on the over 8.5 total runs. The pick is based on Chicago’s potent home lineup and Cleveland’s need to rely on a taxed bullpen without its closer.

Considering how both teams have played lately, betting on the over feels like the right call. The Cubs have been hitting with confidence, and Cleveland should be able to chip in enough offence to keep this from becoming a runaway. This pick feels solid with the weather favouring hitters and both clubs pushing hard to stay in the playoff picture. This prediction gets a B grade.

Spread Pick - Chicago Cubs, -1.5 (-135): B+

The Chicago Cubs host the Cleveland Guardians on Thursday, July 3, at Wrigley Field, with both teams reaching the season's midpoint. Chicago enters the matchup with momentum, having won two straight games, while Cleveland has dropped seven of its last ten. This prediction leans toward the Cubs covering the -1.5 run line, as the bet focuses on their strong performance against left-handed pitching and a healthier bullpen. The pick is Chicago -1.5, offering value given the current form of both clubs.

Looking at this matchup, it's hard not to side with the Cubs. Their offence has been clicking, and they've shown resilience at home. The Guardians' recent form doesn't inspire much confidence, especially with their lineup missing key contributors. Betting on Chicago to win by multiple runs seems like a solid move, and this pick feels right given the circumstances. This prediction gets a B grade.
