Under 9 was popping in the Action systems so this caught my eye. I also like how both teams have above-average bullpens. Shota Imanaga is coming back from injury so he likely doesn’t have a long leash, but he looked good in his last rehab start. Let’s back the pitching here.

Take on Novig for the best price across all books. If you don't have Novig yet, I HIGHLY recommend you add it to your books and use my code "CEEJ" to get some free money on your first deposit! Shota Imanaga is back for the Cubs, so we are 100% backing him today. The Cubs will face Andre Pallante today, who is 5-3 on the season with a 4.48 ERA. Pallante has allowed 2+ runs in 13/15 games this season and 3+ in 8/15. The Cubs should put up runs today as they hit his pitch mix very well. 6/9 hitters in the lineup hold a wOBA of .342 or higher vs Pallantes' most thrown pitches. He throws the four-seam fastball at almost a 50% rate, a pitch the Cubs are mashing this season. For Imanaga, he is coming off a rehab start where he struck out 8 guys, so he looks 100%. Besides, it was a hamstring injury, so nothing with the arm. He held a 2.82 ERA before missing time due to injury.
