One MLB Bet To Consider On Thursday June 29th 2023
Cubs vs. Phillies 8:05pm
Cubs Moneyline (+100)
Phillies starter Tijuan Walker has pitched very well in his last 4 starts (4-0 with a 0.69 ERA). However, only one of those starts was on the road, which was against the Athletics. This is important to know because Walker’s home and road pitching splits are extreme. He holds a 2.13 ERA and 0.947 WHIP in Philadelphia, but a 5.76 ERA and 1.478 WHIP away from Philly. Cubs starter Kyle Hendricks had a late start to the 2023 season, but he’s having a fantastic June. Hendricks is 3-1 with a 2.13 ERA and 0.671 WHIP in 25.1 innings this month. He’s also been very effective against left handed hitters, which this Phillies lineup has a lot of. The Cubs bullpen has been one of the best in the MLB over the last month (2.88 ERA). The Phillies bullpen ranks below the league average during the same 30 day span. We are going to take the home underdogs to win this game and avoid the sweep.
