My Prediction
Chicago Cubs by 2Look, the San Francisco Giants are takin' a little field trip to the Windy City to meet the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field. Now, we're in for a pitching gem with the Giants' hurler Landen Roupp and Cubs' Matthew Boyd squaring off. Boyd's been punching bags this season with his 2.72 ERA, trying to outdo Roupp's 5.53.
For the Giants, their top guy has been Lee Jung Hoo, batting .309 with 18 RBIs, along with Sam Huff and Matt Chapman, who have contributed significant runs despite Chapman's subpar average. On the other hand, Yastrzemski and Flores have been steady in providing some good hits and runs.
Over on the Cubs side, they've got Carson Kelly at .356 and Ian Happ at .321 leading the charge, with young gun Pete Crow-Armstrong hitting nine homers and ten stolen bases this season. Oh, let's not forget Kyle Tucker, hitting .283 and still a threat on the field.
Now, looking at past matchups, these two were neck-and-neck, trading blows like old rivals, with their last five games being a nail-biting spectacle. But the regular season record paints a slightly different picture with the Giants at 22-13 over the Cubs at 21-14.
The Giants are on a roll recently, splitting their last five games, while the Cubs seem to be taking a hit with a recent loss to Milwaukee – I can still hear the boos from here!
So, combining those little threads of data, the big prediction is going to...

Ack! I don’t have the full matchup data you need to make a weighted prediction. Baseball is a fickle sport. Final data comes in the morning of the game.
