Giants vs Cubs Clash at Wrigley
Webb seeks wind-aided magic against North Side sluggers

GIants (22-14) VS Cubs (22-14)
May 07, 2025 | 2:20 PM ET | Wrigley Field, Chicago

San Francisco enters this matchup with momentum, having won four of their last five and taking full advantage of timely pitching and roster depth. Their starter’s groundball-heavy arsenal is well-suited for limiting damage even with conditions favoring hitters, especially against a Chicago lineup missing key contributors and struggling to generate consistency. With their bullpen rested and the rotation leader boasting a favorable history against Chicago’s top bats, the Giants are positioned well to extend their streak.
There’s quiet value in a balanced matchup when the better arm, steadier bullpen, and hotter lineup come attached to a plus-money price. Even without a full-strength outfield, San Francisco’s edge in execution makes them a worthy lean here.

San Francisco hands the ball to its most reliable starter, who enters with 11 consecutive scoreless innings and a personal record of 4-0 this season. Chicago, meanwhile, comes in with a fine record of 5-5 in their last ten and continues to manage a few key injury concerns. Despite both lineups ranking in the top ten in OPS, the pitching matchup and a stiff inbound breeze at Wrigley suggest a low-scoring affair. With both starters showing consistent success in this head-to-head setting, neither side is likely to break things open early.
This has the makings of a pitcher’s duel, and in a ballpark where the weather often calls the shots, the wind might be the best closer on the field. Even with some big bats in both dugouts, the smarter angle is a quiet scoreboard. The UNDER looks strong here

San Francisco enters on a good run of form with a veteran arm in their groove, aiming to keep the momentum going or at least stay within striking distance in a tough road spot. Chicago, though dangerous at Wrigley, is facing a bit of attrition after back-to-back long games and is missing some key pieces in the lineup. The Giants are getting healthier, and with a rested bullpen and one of the best road pitching staffs in baseball, they’re well-positioned to hang tight even if runs come at a premium.
With both teams battling lineup gaps and San Francisco leaning on proven arms, this feels like a tight contest that shouldn’t get out of hand either way. The extra run of insurance makes a lot of sense, especially with Chicago's bullpen under strain. Taking the run line here is a sharp move.
