The San Francisco Giants and Chicago Cubs face off on Wednesday in an MLB showdown at Wrigley Field. The Cubs have won the first two games of this series. 

Giants Out of Playoff Position

The Giants are out of a playoff position right now, and this is a series they need to have success in. In the first game of this series the Giants offense only scored zero runs and that led to the five run defeat. Heading into Tuesday’s game the Giants offense had scored only one run total over the last three games. The Giants are averaging 4.23 runs while their pitching is giving up 4.3 runs per game. The offense is ranked 23rd in the league while the pitching is ranked 11th in the league. 

Giants Betting Preview

  • The Giants have lost each of their last six games at Wrigley Field against teams that held a winning record.
  • The Giants have failed to cover the run line in each of their last five road games.
  • The Giants have trailed after 5 innings in each of their last six games at Wrigley Field against NL Central opponents that held a winning record.
  • The Giants have trailed after 7 innings in each of their last five games against National League opponents.

Wicks Has Been Strong

On the mound for the Cubs is Jordan Wicks and he has been really good in his two starts. In his last start against the Reds he he went five innings giving up five hits and one run. The Cubs are averaging 5.05 runs while their pitching is giving up 4.38 runs per game. The offense is ranked 6th in the league while the pitching is ranked 16th. In this game the Cubs need Wicks to be strong here, and really put the pressure on the Giants bats again.

Shane’s Free Pick

I don’t trust the Giants offense and they are going to really struggle to get the offense going here. Wicks has given up only two runs this season in his two starts and he’s going to lockdown again in this game. The Giants are going to score only two or three runs total here and that isn’t going to be enough to get the job done here. The Cubs are going to pick up another key win here. Back the Cubs.
