Edward Cabrera (MIA) Under 2.5 Walks Allowed (-196)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Cleveland Guardians take on the Chicago Cubs, keep an eye on Edward Cabrera's performance on the mound. Cabrera has been a revelation lately, showing a refined command that’s helped him limit walks significantly—he's averaging just over a walk per game this season. The Guardians' disciplined approach at the plate won’t push him into wild territory; they’ve been consistent at making pitchers work but aren't known for overly aggressive swings that could lead to free passes. Furthermore, with the Cubs’ lineup struggling against right-handed pitchers, Cabrera’s ability to control the game should shine through. His recent outings reflect a strong trend of keeping walks to a minimum, and with the line set at 2.5, taking the under feels like a savvy play. Expect Cabrera to continue his trajectory of precision, making this a compelling bet as the Guardians aim for a strong home showing.

Daniel Schneemann (NA) Over 0.5 Hits+Runs+RBIs (-164)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

When the Cleveland Guardians face off against the Chicago Cubs this Sunday, all eyes will be on Daniel Schneemann. He’s been quietly making a name for himself in the Guardians’ lineup, and with the Cubs’ pitching struggles lately, he has a prime opportunity to shine. The Cubs’ rotation has been inconsistent, with opponents capitalizing on their shaky starts—allowing a notable number of hits and runs. Schneemann, who’s been heating up at the plate, is well-positioned to take advantage of this. He’s shown a knack for finding gaps and driving in runs, which aligns perfectly with the trend of the Cubs’ pitchers giving up soft contact. With a model prediction suggesting he should easily surpass 0.5 hits, runs, or RBIs, this bet feels more than reasonable. Expect him to step up in this critical matchup, adding value to the Guardians' offensive efforts against a vulnerable Cubs staff.

Rhys Hoskins (MIL) Under 0.5 Doubles (-833)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Guardians host the Cubs, all eyes will be on Rhys Hoskins, but betting on him to hit a double might not be the smartest play today. The Guardians' pitching staff has been phenomenal at home, boasting a 2.93 ERA, and they’re particularly tough on right-handers like Hoskins, who has struggled against elite fastball and slider pitchers this season. Further complicating matters, Hoskins is currently in a bit of a slump, with only a handful of extra-base hits over his last few games. The Cubs’ defense is also playing at a high level, turning routine plays into outs and limiting extra-base hits. Given the Guardians’ stellar home record and the way their pitchers are performing right now, putting your chips on the under for Hoskins’ doubles seems like a savvy move. The odds are stacked in favor of a quiet day for him at the plate.
