Chicago Cubs vs. Miami Marlins CashBet Wagering Analysis
The Chicago Cubs are in desperate need of a victory but their pitching unit has been at their worst in the last few games. The Cubs are 52-65 on the season and are way behind the Brewers at the top of the list. The Miami Marlins still have a chance since their opponents are just a few games apart in the NL East Division play.
The Cubs Weak Pitching
Chicago was not too bad at the start of the season but they struggled to make it past the Brewers despite Kyle Hendricks on the mound as their starter. Hendricks was unable to do much against Milwaukee as the team suffered the loss. In this game, the Cubs will turn to Adbert Alzolay to make a difference. Alzolay is yet another struggling pitcher that has failed to get past his opponent hitters. The starter is holding a bad 4-12 record on the season.
Miami’s Last Opportunity
If the Marlins are keen on making it to the top, they need to start rebounding right now before it’s too late. Miami won a total of 48 and dropped 67. The good news is that they are close to a dozen games behind the Phillies at the top. Miami will need more support from the plate against opponents with a winning record. Jesus Luzardo will take the mound in this game with a 3-5 record and an ERA of 7.36.
