🔥 Cubs 65-59 (-122) vs Tigers 57-68 (+102) O/U 9.0

The Cubs are taking on the Tigers at Comerica Park. With Drew Smyly's 5.15 ERA and the Cubs' high run-scoring, this game is looking to be a high-scoring affair.

❄️ Giants 65-60 (+111) vs Phillies 68-57 (-133) O/U 9.0

The Giants are up against the Phillies. With the Giants' poor batting and low run scoring, this game could potentially go under the O/U.
