Chicago Cubs
- Total: o8.5 EV Cubs vs Astros u8.5 -120
- Money Line: +102 Cubs vs Astros -112
- Watch: FOX / Daikin Park, Houston, TX, June 28, 2025 7:15 PM EDT
- Pitching: Rea vs. McCullers Jr.
The betting public is leaning hard on the Cubs at +102, with 65.5% of tickets backing the slight road dog in Houston. But beware of public dogs—especially against a proven arm like Lance McCullers Jr.
The Astros, sitting at -112, offer sneaky value at home in a near pick’em. Rea gets the nod for Chicago, and while he’s been serviceable, his contact-heavy style could get exposed against Houston’s right-handed pop.
The total is set at 8.5, juiced to the UNDER at -120, suggesting a low-scoring grind. But with McCullers just getting his legs under him, and Houston’s bats heating up, this could flip.
If the Cubs’ bullpen shows cracks, look for late runs. Lean Astros and consider a contrarian shot at the OVER.
