Giants vs Cubs Prediction

The Giants have won their last six meetings against the Cubs and have won their last three visits in Chicago.

In this Giants vs Cubs Prediction, the Cubs are coming as -150 home favorites. The Cubs have the pitching edge with Ben Brown on the mound, who has given up one run or less in four of his five starts this season. On the flip side, Landen Roupp has lost five of his last six starts and the Cubs have both a better offense and a better bullpen, so I expect them to bounce back today. Take the Cubs on the moneyline.
