The Cubs and Yankees will be starting a series on Friday, June 10th.
Wade Miley will be opposed by Luis Severino in this one.
As expected, New York is heavy chalk in this contest. I am seeing mostly 8.5 for the total but there have been some 9’s that have popped up.
Chicago Cubs
This season has pretty much been what was expected from the Cubs so far. I do not feel there are a lot of surprises with the way they have played.
So far, they have been a team that has just not been able to win on a consistent enough level. Based on how the team is constructed at the moment, it is not reasonable to expect a ton of winning from them.
There is no question that Chicago is in clear rebuild mode and they simply do not have the talent to compete with the top teams on a day-to-day basis. They have some pieces for their future but a lot more is needed until they can be a true threat again.
Although not great, I do feel the offense is the best part of their game. They have some nice, powerful hitters in that group and it at least looks like there is a nice direction in that area of their game.
On the other hand, though, the pitching for them has been pretty rough and has to improve or they will not see improvements as a team. It does not matter what stat you look at, that part of their game is lacking and you can see that when you examine their schedule.
Chicago last played on Tuesday, where they got smoked by the Orioles 9-3. If they looked that horrible against that team, who knows what they are going to do against the Yankees.
Without a doubt, this series with New York is going to be a very big challenge for them. The Bombers have every advantage you can think of over the Cubs, so they really better hope they have an off series.
Getting the start in the opener is Wade Miley and it is crucial that he gets them started in the right direction. If they do not get strong pitching from him, it is a legitimate question to wonder where they will get it for the remainder of the series.
New York Yankees
The Yankees have truly been special this season. A lot of people throw that word around loosely to describe a team but it is truly fitting for them.
It is no mistake why they have had the success they have had and the record they do. On a nightly basis, they are putting out a very competitive team that gives them a chance to win, and more times than not, they end up with the victory.
The one thing that has remained true with this team for the whole season is their strong pitching. Whether it be the starters, the middle relievers, or the high leverage people, those individuals have largely done their job and are a big reason why they are one of the best teams in baseball.
In terms of the offense, there is no question that they got off to a slower start than expected, but they eventually picked it up and are swinging it very well. It was only a matter of time before that happened.
As expected, New York is being led on the offensive side by their best player and one of the best in the sport, Aaron Judge. Whether it be his power, his quality of bats, or just the threat he poses to opposing pitchers, he is once again proving why he deserves to get whatever kind of money he wants to get.
Before this series with Chicago, New York will be looking to cap off the series with the Twins on a high note and also win the series. Right now the Bombers are up 1-0 in the 1st inning.
This club has seen some mixed results in the Minnesota series. They were able to take the 1st game by a score of 10-4 but then did not look good at all in game 2 and dropped 8-1. With Gerrit Cole on the hill in the finale, those are the ones they need to get.
Luis Severino will get the ball in game 1 with Chicago and he will look to keep up what he has done so far. It seems weird to say that he has not been one of their “better” starters but he has been awfully impressive and that is certainly great news if you are a fan of this baseball team.

Chicago Cubs vs. New York Yankees MLB Prediction:
Boy, this game, and really this series, is going to be quite challenging for Chicago. It is hard for me to have a ton of confidence in them.
As mentioned earlier, Severino has been sharp and I look for that trend to continue. If he is on his game, this is certainly a lineup that he can have success against.
Miley is going to have his hands full with this lineup and the same is true for their bullpen. When all is said and done, I look for New York to handle their business over a team they are a lot better than.
Give me the Yankees on the run line.
