Yankees vs. Cubs Pick: Fried’s Floor Against a Hobbled Lineup

Yankees vs. Cubs Pick: Fried’s Floor Against a Hobbled Lineup

Wrigley Field’s near-neutral park factor (1.02) removes any environmental cushion from a Cubs lineup that already posts weak xwOBA numbers against elite left-handed pitching. The total sits at 6.5 (Under -122) despite a projected 9.4 combined runs — a gap that hinges entirely on whether Fried’s floor can offset Peterson’s volatility. The pick is inside.

Red Sox vs. Dodgers Pick: Yamamoto’s 0.90 WHIP and a Weakened Boston Lineup

Red Sox vs. Dodgers Pick: Yamamoto’s 0.90 WHIP and a Weakened Boston Lineup

The bullpen gap between these two clubs is secondary to the starting pitching divide — Yamamoto’s 37.5% whiff rate on his slider is the kind of number that reshapes a lineup’s ceiling, and Boston’s projected order is already missing Contreras and Mead. The total is posted at 8 with the under sitting at -106, pricing this closer to a coin flip than the pitching profiles support. Find out which way this one goes.
