The Athletics vs Chicago Cubs Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 06/02/26

The Athletics head to Chicago on Tuesday to begin a 3-game set. The Cubs finally ended their ridiculous losing streak last week, and they have leveled back off, it seems. The Athletics have had a rough stretch, losing their last 3 series to the Padres, Mariners, and Yankees. On Tuesday, we’ve gone one of those Wrigley days where the weather is cooler and the wind is blowing in pretty strongly. It might not be enough to choke out scoring entirely, but definitely a day to like pitchers more than hitters. I like the chances of the Athletics pulling off the win here, and right now, it is available at plus money. Give me the A’s on the Money Line.

The A’s will give the ball to Gage Jump. Jump is a rookie who debuted last week to mixed results. He gave up 5 runs in 5 innings, but that’s not unusual for a debut. Jump is a solid pitching prospect, and he has huge strikeout stuff, so he is one to keep an eye on. The Cubs will go with Jameson Taillon. Taillon has yielded 16 runs in his last 3 starts, and he has been very uneven on the season. I think Jump will figure it out and settle in as a solid MLB starter, and I am willing to take that chance on Tuesday. Give me the A’s to win.
