The Cubs have won four of their last five games; they took the rubber match of their series at Wrigley Field against the Twins, handing Minnesota a 10-1 rout. It was a game that started off strong for them when Bregman hit his tenth home run of the year in the bottom of the first inning, while Hoerner went 2-for-5 and Ramirez 2-for-4. Busch had a great game, going 3-for-5; the Cubs' first baseman now has 15 hits since the beginning of July.

The Cubs have won seven of their last ten games. Their key players are delivering, not only Seiya Suzuki but also Pete Crow-Armstrong. In fact, he's second in the betting odds to win the NL MVP, only behind Ohtani.

Meanwhile, these Tigers are doing their best to turn things around; yes, it has been a disappointing season for them, but they've already managed nine wins in July; it's not unusual to see Detroit ignite in the second half of the season. They won their series against the Angels, but on Sunday they couldn't complete the sweep against the worst team in the AL; they lost the final game 2-3.

Our Chicago Cubs vs Detroit Tigers Prediction

The Cubs plan to continue their winning streak at Wrigley Field, where they achieved an impressive home winning streak this year. In Chicago, the Cubs have been able to take close games, winning an impressive number of games by walkover.

A veteran duel will take place on Monday; Flaherty will take the mound after recovering from a fairly solid June-July season. But his ERA remains high at 4.48. Taillon will pitch for the Cubs after recovering from his left hamstring strain; the former Yankee has not pitched for the Cubs since June 7.

Our prediction for Cubs vs Tigers is: Over 12 runs.

Prediction:

 

Over 12 runs.
