🔮 ClutchBuzz Cubs vs. Giants Prediction
The Cubs have the bats, the depth, and home-field advantage. But don’t count out Robbie Ray’s mastery on the mound. If Ray can hold Chicago to 2–3 runs, the Giants’ recent offensive form (and Heliot Ramos’s breakout) could tip the scale.
That said, Brown’s upside is real, and Chicago’s lineup can pounce quickly on mistakes. Expect a back-and-forth contest, with offense breaking through in the middle innings.
Final Score Prediction:
🧢 Cubs 5 – 🟠 Giants 4
Best Bets:
✅ Cubs ML (-145)
📈 Over 7 Total Runs
🧊 Prop Play: Crow-Armstrong to hit a HR (+ odds)
