(MLB) Chi Cubs vs. Detroit, 08/26/2020 7:10 PM, Score: 6 - 7
Money Line: -128.00 Chi Cubs (Away)
Result: Loss
The Detroit Tigers got off to a solid 9-5 start this season but have since dropped 11 of their last 14 games overall. A deeper look at this year's Tigers team shows their early season success likely had more to do with an easy schedule to begin the year as their first 13 games of 2020 were against who are currently below .500 this season. Since then, the Tigers have played 14 straight games against teams with a winning record and are just 3-11 overall. They face off here against a solid Chicago Cubs squad that is currently in 1st place with an 18-11 record on the season. The Tigers hand the baseball to starter Michael Fulmer has had control issues and I look for the veteran Lester to out-duel him and get the win for the Cubs who managed just 1 run last night and 4 hits.
