AFTERNOON TOP TOTAL: +$15,000 MLB RUN!
(MLB) Boston vs. Chi Cubs, 07/01/2022 2:20 PM, Score: 5 - 6
Total: 9.00 | -110.00 Under
Result: Loss
This is an 8* TOP TOTAL on the UNDER Red Sox/Cubs.

This is going to be an interesting interleague series, but the opening game sets up as a bit of a "duel" in our opinions.

The Red Sox have won eight of their last ten. They've had a day off after going just 1-2 at Toronto earlier in the week. Two of three games against Toronto went OVER the number.

The Cubs just took two of three from Cincinnati at home, including yesterday's 15-7 blowout victory.

Boston hands the ball to Rich Hill (4-4, 4.09 ERA), who went 3-1 with a 3.00 ERA in five starts in June. He's 3-1 with a 2.50 ERA in eight road starts this season as well.

The home side counters with Adrian Sampson (0-0, 1.69 ERA), who conceded two runs, four hits and two walks with five strikeouts over five innings in a no-decision vs. the Cards in his first start of the season last time out.

Expect this early afternoon interleague game to be dominated by these starting pitchers and look for this total to stay well UNDER the posted number.

Good luck, NP
