Chicago Cubs
The Chicago Cubs will look to rebound from a 1-2 loss on Tuesday night against the Tigers in Detroit Wednesday. The loss in game one was the third consecutive loss for the North Siders. To make matters even worse, the Cubs were unable to score more than a run in each of their previous five games.
While Chicago still leads the NL Central, there are some obvious problems for them inside the batter’s box. Their pitching, on the other hand, has been solid. Jon Lester will take the mound, aiming to improve his record to 14-5.

He’ll enter Wednesday night’s game with a 3.72 ERA and 113 strikeouts on the season. While he hasn’t allowed anyone on the Tiger’s projected lineup to go yard on him, Lester has allowed 10 RBIs.
Detroit Tigers
The Tiger’s will be looking for their second win in a row on Wednesday and have now won four of their previous 10.
While Detroit only crossed the plate twice on Tuesday, they’ve been able to drive in 25 runs in their previous five games. One can only wonder if two runs will be enough to get the job done again on Wednesday.

Free Chicago Cubs vs. Detroit Tigers MLB Prediction:
The Cubs three-game losing streak has been hard to watch. While the starting rotation has been more than solid, the Cubs haven’t been able to provide any production with the wood.
4* Free MLB Betting Pick: Over 9
Here’s the thing though. Chicago is too good of a team to stay in this funk for long. They have a lineup full of streaky hitters and facing Liriano could be just what they need to get things turned around.
Yes, I am a lifelong fan of the North Siders and look for them to leave Detroit with a bang as they get ready to for a series with the Reds.
