San Francisco Giants
San Francisco is in kind of a tough spot on Tuesday, on the road at Chicago. The Cubs are simply a different team from the Friendly Confines of Wrigley Field as evidenced by their amazing 41-19 home record on the season.
The Giants dropped the series opener on Tuesday, falling 3-5 behind just 6 hits from the SF offense. San Fran had won 6 of their previous 8 however to climb within 4.5 games of the 2nd wild card spot. Giants bats had put up 7+ runs in 3 of their last 4 road games before the loss in Chicago.

One of the reasons the Giants are huge +165 underdogs in game two of this series is because Dereck Rodriguez is up in the rotation. The right-hander will be making his fourth straight start since coming out of the bullpen – all on the road. He has allowed just 5 ER the last 3 starts but the Giants have won just 5 of the last 18 times Rodriguez gets the nod.
Chicago Cubs
Chicago definitely has an edge on Wednesday night a) because they are at home and b) because Anthony Rizzo is on fire. The big first baseman went yard twice in the series opener. He also homered Sunday vs. Pittsburgh while also drawing 3 BBs.
The Cubs are 8-3 in their last 11 home games vs. teams with a winning road record meaning they aren’t just padding their stats against lemon teams at Wrigley. Chicago has won 6 of their last 7 at home.

Yu Darvish will go on Wednesday looking to continue his resurgent season. Make no mistake, Darvish has had some tough outings over the last 7 starts which includes two appearances with 4ER allowed. When he’s good, he’s really good though with just 3 total ER allowed in the other 5 starts.
MLB Baseball Betting Trends:
- Giants are 6-3 last 9 overall
