Chicago Cubs vs San Francisco Giants Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 08/28/25

I favor the Under on the posted game total in Thursday’s matchup between the Chicago Cubs and the San Francisco Giants. Both starting pitchers in this game have had terrific seasons, and I expect them to find success in this pitcher-friendly park. Logan Webb has taken advantage of his home park with a 2.77 ERA in 87.2 innings of work at Oracle Park this season, and he enters this game in good form overall. Webb’s last 2 starts came against the Rays and Brewers, combining for 13 innings of 1-run ball. He has taken a step forward this season in terms of strikeout production, and I expect him to pitch well in this spot.

Shota Imanaga has made 19 starts for the Cubs this season spanning 110 innings of work. In that sample, the southpaw hurler has posted a 3.03 ERA with a 0.94 WHIP. After a couple of iffy outings to end July, Imanaga has bounced back well in August with 27 innings and a 2.33 ERA in that stretch. He has pitched into the 7th inning of all 4 starts this month including finishing the 7th inning in both of his last 2 starts.
