Our Chicago Cubs vs Minnesota Twins Prediction
Chicago is a small favorite in this game; however, the Cubs still look to be the best betting option. Aside from the fact that Chicago had a much better first half of the season, they also look to have the edge in this game when it comes to starting pitching.
While his overall numbers have not been great, Rea has been a completely different pitcher at home. In eight appearances (seven starts) at home, he has allowed 14 runs (13 earned) over 43.0 innings.
Ober, on the other hand, has made five away starts, having allowed 22 runs (21 earned) over 24.2 innings. Because of this, our Chicago Cubs vs Minnesota Twins prediction is: Chicago Cubs ML.
