Chicago Cubs
The Chicago Cubs will be looking to snap a two-game losing streak on Tuesday night against the Tigers in Detroit. The Cubs lost another close one on Sunday, falling 2-1 against the Pirates in Pittsburgh.
Righty Kyle Hendricks will be on the bump for the North Siders, carrying a 9-9 record and an ERA of 4.11. On the season, Hendricks has sent 123 hitters back to the bench on strikes.

Pitching hasn’t been the issue for the Cubs as of late. It’s been their work with the wood that has kept them stuck. They were unable to score more than a run in each of their last four games, a series they ended up splitting with Pittsburgh.
Detroit Tigers
The Tigers will be looking to get back in the winning column after falling short 5-4 in Minnesota against the Twins last Sunday. Jordan Zimmerman will be the man on the mound. He’ll be aiming to improve his 5-5 record and 4.36 ERA. Zimmerman will head into the game looking to add to his 78 strikeouts on the year.

Detroit has been able to keep the bats swinging, scoring at least four runs in each of their previous five games. If they want to put an end to their two-game skid, they will have to find a way to keep the ball in play against Hendricks, something that’s not always an easy task.
MLB Baseball Betting Trends:
- Cubs are 7-1 in their last 8 vs. American League Central.
- Cubs are 4-0 in Hendricks’ last 4 starts on grass.

Free Chicago Cubs vs. Detroit Tigers MLB Prediction:
As of Monday afternoon, the Cubbies still hold a 3.5 game lead in the NL Central and the best record in the National League. Detroit is a great place for any team to end a struggle and I think that’s exactly what Chicago will do.
4* Free MLB Betting Pick: Over 9
Look for the Cubs to come out swinging for the fences while putting more runs on the board than their previous four games combined. I would not be surprised at all if they end up doubling the number.
