The teams have split the first two games of the series of the weekend, setting up the rubber match for Sunday night.\u00a0\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/offshoresportsbooks.com\/review\/mybookie\/\">The Chicago Cubs are -200 over the San Francisco Giants on Sunday\u00a0Night Baseball.<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Amidst a series of injuries, most notably to key members of their pitching staff, the Giants have done well to remain within striking distance of a playoff spot in the NL West. Nevertheless, they begin Sunday just two games out of first place despite being two games under .500. However, they\u2019ve only won four of their last 10 games, so they are currently in a slump even with Saturday\u2019s win over the <strong>Cubs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mlb.mlb.com\/mlb\/standings\/index.jsp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Chicago<\/strong> meanwhile, is four games over .500 but fourth in the <strong>NL<\/strong> <strong>Central<\/strong> and 4.5 games out of first place.<\/a> The Cubs have yet to catch fire this season the way most believe they\u2019re capable of doing. As a result, they\u2019ve lost ground in the NL Central recently with the Brewers getting hit.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"de-facto-ace\"><strong>De Facto Ace<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The <strong>Giants<\/strong> will send lefty <strong>Ty<\/strong> <strong>Blach<\/strong> to the mound Sunday night. With Madison Bumgarner and Johnny Cueto on the DL, Blach has become the de facto ace of San Francisco\u2019s rotation. Other than Cueto\u2019s incredible performance prior to his latest DL stint, Blach has been the team\u2019s most consistent starter. Of course, the 27-year old is 3-4 with a 4.37 ERA, which isn\u2019t great, but it\u2019s the best the Giants have right now.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, <strong>Blach<\/strong> has been less reliable of late. He\u2019s failed to get through the fifth inning in each of his last three starts. If that trend continues, it doesn\u2019t bode well for the Giants, who have one of the worst bullpens in the National League. On top of that, <strong>Cubs<\/strong> hitters are hitting a combined .319 in their career against Blach, albeit in limited action.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"filling-in\"><strong>Filling In<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The <strong>Cubs<\/strong> have injury problems in their rotation as well. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/mlb\/2018\/05\/26\/yu-darvish-injury-cubs-disabled-list\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">They placed <strong>Yu<\/strong> <strong>Darvish<\/strong> on the DL Saturday night, forcing Tyler Chatwood to be moved up a day to start Sunday night.<\/a> Signed during the offseason to be a back-end starter, Chatwood has pitched quite well this year. In nine starts, he\u2019s 3-4 with a 3.74 ERA. He was knocked around by the Indians earlier this week, but prior to that. Chatwood has been steady and reliable this season.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chatwood<\/strong> also has a lot of experience facing the Giants from his days with the Rockies. He\u2019s fared well against Buster Posey, although Brandon Belt, Brandon Crawford, and <strong>Gorkys<\/strong> <strong>Hernandez<\/strong> have all had a fair amount of success against him. Those three just happen to be San Francisco\u2019s hottest hitters over the past week.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"let-the-bullpens-decide\"><strong>Let the Bullpens Decide<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Neither starter is set up for success in this game, although Chatwood is probably the safer bet at this point. Of course, even if they pitch well, neither is likely to last much longer than five innings. When this game gets turned over to the bullpens, the Cubs should have a distinct advantage. <strong>Chicago<\/strong> is also the better offensive team.\u00a0<strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/offshoresportsbooks.com\/review\/mybookie\/\">Take the Chicago Cubs -200 over the San Francisco Giants on Sunday.<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/offshoresportsbooks.com\/review\/mybookie\/\">Bet Sunday Night Baseball at MyBookie<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The San Francisco Giants are at the Chicago Cubs on Sunday Night Baseball.","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":2305,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3035],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2859","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-archive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.0 -
