Matthew Boyd (CHC) 5+ Strikeouts (-170)
Matthew Boyd is enjoying his first season in Wrigley. His eight wins and 2.65 ERA rank in the top 15 in baseball. With that play, he has the Cubs in sole possession of first place in the NL Central. Boyd recorded win #7 two starts ago against a familiar foe, the St. Louis Cardinals. The advantage tends to go to the hitters in the case where pitchers are seeing the same offense twice in less than a month, but we’re going to buy Boyd’s strikeouts down to a number he’s hit in 65% of his starts this season and 75% at home.

Kyle Tucker (CHC) 3+ Hits+Runs+RBIs (+145)
The Chicago Cubs will ensure Kyle Tucker isn’t going anywhere this offseason. The starting outfielder for the National League will join teammate Pete Crow-Armstrong and Ronald Acuna Jr. in nine days in Atlanta. In the meantime, we will back Tucker against RHP Erick Fedde and his 5.42 xERA – Bottom 7th percentile in baseball.
Tucker’s splits versus right-handed pitching jump off the page. He’s hitting .293 with 11 home runs and 27 extra-base hits. Slated in the 2-hole, Tucker will have plenty of opportunities for the loaded lineup behind him to drive him in. Back him and Boyd to cash our Cardinals vs Cubs Same Game Parlay on ESPN.
