Miami Marlins @ Chicago Cubs Preview

The Chicago Cubs come into this game as heavy favorites after a convincing 5-2 victory over the Miami Marlins in the series opener. The Cubs have been dominant as moneyline favorites this season, winning 65.2% of such games. Meanwhile, the Marlins are looking to bounce back and improve their record as underdogs. With the Cubs' strong home-field advantage and consistent offense, this game could be another uphill battle for Miami.

Pick: Chicago Cubs -1.5 (-110)

widget-odds-mlb-ats-10741-MIA-CHC

The Cubs have been strong against the spread this season, particularly as favorites. With their recent 5-2 win over the Marlins and their consistent performance at home, backing the Cubs to cover the -1.5 spread is a solid choice. The Marlins have struggled to generate offense against quality pitching, which could be a deciding factor in this game.

Top Player Prop Picks

1. Cody Bellinger Over 1.5 Total Bases (+120)

Bellinger has been a key contributor for the Cubs, and his ability to hit for extra bases makes this prop appealing. With the Marlins' pitching staff struggling to contain power hitters, Bellinger is in a prime spot to exceed this line.

2. Justin Steele Over 6.5 Strikeouts (-110)

Steele has been dominant on the mound, and the Marlins' lineup has shown a tendency to strike out frequently. Expect Steele to take advantage of this matchup and rack up strikeouts.

3. Jazz Chisholm Jr. Over 0.5 Stolen Bases (+150)

Chisholm's speed on the basepaths is a weapon, and with the Cubs' pitching staff occasionally vulnerable to stolen bases, this prop offers good value.
