The Cubs, currently sitting at 64-45, are enjoying a strong season and have the 3rd best offense in MLB. Meanwhile, the Orioles are struggling at 50-60, ranking 16th in offense and showing signs of inconsistency.<\/p>\n<p>In their last matchup, the Cubs edged out the Orioles in a nail-biting 1-0 victory, showcasing their pitching prowess and defensive strength. The Cubs will send Matthew Boyd to the mound, who, despite a rough outing on July 28 where he allowed 5 earned runs, boasts a solid 11-4 record and an impressive 2.47 ERA this season. His advanced metrics indicate he\u2019s been a bit lucky, with a higher xFIP of 3.93, suggesting some regression might be on the horizon. Boyd projects to average 5.3 innings with only 1.8 earned runs allowed today, which could be pivotal against an Orioles lineup that has struggled to capitalize on scoring opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, Tomoyuki Sugano will take the hill for Baltimore. Although he has a respectable 8-5 record, his 4.38 ERA and 5.20 FIP indicate that he\u2019s been less effective than his record suggests. With a low strikeout rate of 15.2%, Sugano may have difficulty against a Cubs offense that ranks 5th in the league for fewest strikeouts.<\/p>\n<p>The Cubs enter this matchup as heavy favorites, with a current moneyline of -210 and an implied team total of 4.40 runs. In contrast, the Orioles are underdogs at +180, with a low implied total of 3.10 runs. Given the Cubs&#8217; offensive firepower and Boyd&#8217;s solid season, they appear well-positioned to secure another victory in this series.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin: 3rem 0 0 0;\">Baltimore Orioles Insights<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.75rem 0;\"><strong>Tomoyuki Sugano &#8211; Over\/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (-130\/+100)<\/strong><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.25rem 0;\">Despite conventional wisdom, fastballs are typically a pitcher&#8217;s least effective pitch.
