Chicago Cubs vs Atlanta Braves (Client Play)
Chicago is well-positioned to take tonight’s contest behind Shota Imanaga and a lineup that ranks top-10 in runs, slugging, and plate discipline. The real vulnerability lies with Bryce Elder, whose home ERA has ballooned to 6.98—nearly three full runs higher than his 4.35 mark on the road. Elder’s command issues have been amplified at Truist Park, where opponents are slugging .472 against him and he's allowed 11 homers in just 52 innings. The Cubs, meanwhile, have won 62.5% of games as favorites and are averaging 5.1 runs per game over their last 10. With Imanaga riding a streak of six straight quality starts and Atlanta’s bullpen taxed after a brutal series against Seattle, Chicago has the pitching edge, offensive consistency, and situational value to close this one out.

Arizona Diamondbacks vs San Francisco Giants
Tonight’s NL West showdown at Oracle Park between the Diamondbacks and Giants sets up well for an Over 7.5 result, with both offenses trending upward and the pitching matchup offering volatility. Arizona enters with a top-6 MLB run rate (4.9/game) and a .435 slugging percentage, while San Francisco has averaged 7.1 runs over its last 10 games. Logan Webb (3.17 ERA) is steady but not untouchable, and Nabil Crismatt—despite a 2.14 ERA—has a career 5.24 ERA against the Giants and a WHIP north of 1.65 in those outings. Both bullpens have shown cracks, and with playoff pressure mounting, expect aggressive plate approaches and late-inning scoring to push this total past the number.
New York Mets vs Philadelphia Phillies
The Mets are primed to open their four-game set in Philadelphia with a win, riding the electric arm of rookie Nolan McLean, who’s 4-0 with a 1.37 ERA and a dominant 0.76 WHIP through his first four big-league starts. He blanked the Phillies over eight innings just two weeks ago and now faces a lineup missing Trea Turner and struggling to generate consistent run support. On the other side, Aaron Nola has been a liability, posting a 6.78 ERA and allowing four or more earned runs in five of his last six outings. With Juan Soto scorching at the plate—hitting .417 with six homers and 14 RBIs over his last 10 games—and the Mets averaging 6.7 runs per game over the past month, New York has the pitching edge, offensive momentum, and matchup history (7–2 vs. Philly this season) to take control of tonight’s contest.
The Picks Are In:
- Chicago -117 over Atlanta
- Arizona/ San Francisco Over 7.5
- New York Mets -120 over Philadelphia
