Atlanta's positioned as the favorite in Wrigley Field tonight. Notice the intriguing Braves vs. Cubs over/under?
Set at a consensus over/under of 11 runs, today's Braves vs. Cubs over is the highest among games sans Coors Field or any international park since Cardinals vs. Orioles on Sept. 11, 2023. The game finished under the total, 5-2.
The Braves enter Tuesday's game vs. the Cubs as the best "under" bet in baseball, cashing better than 64%. The Cubs are also profitable to the under this season, too (20-26-2 O/U, 56.5% under rate).
However, the reason for tonight's inflated total is heavy gusts in Chicago Tuesday.
Wrigley Field Weather Tuesday, May 21
Wrigley Field weather Tuesday, May 21, features 25 mph winds blowing straight out to left field.
Rotogrinders meteorologist Kevin Roth is fired up about this matchup, rightfully so:
"Oh baby. Winds out to left at 25mph! There's also a storm line moving in late, but I think it fizzles as it arrives and/or comes in after the game ends. A chance of a later inning delay, but I lean towards them avoiding it.."
