Chicago Cubs vs San Francisco Giants Prediction
Assad has a 4.73 ERA and 1.08 WHIP, and through 18 road innings, he has an 8.00 ERA and a .315 batting average allowed. Roupp has a 4.00 ERA and 1.29 WHIP on the season, and he’s allowed 11 hits and 9 runs in his last 9.2 innings. We have two struggling pitchers and at least one lineup that has explosive potential. In a big park, I expect some runs. I’m going to side with the over in what should be a high-scoring game Friday night.
