Free Betting Pick: Chicago Cubs -190
The Chicago Cubs have dominated the Miami Marlins at home as of recent as they have won 11 of their last 13 meetings. The Chicago Cubs have been stellar at home this season as they are 11-5, and they should have no problem beating the worse team in the MLB in their home ballpark. The Miami Marlins are throwing Trevor Richards who has been very unimpressive this season, and I think the sluggers of Chicago will find a way to cause havoc on the young righty. Kris Bryant and Javier Baez have finally started to catch their stride for the Chicago Cubs, and I think that spells trouble for the rebuilding Marlins. Final Score Prediction, Chicago Cubs win 6-2.
