Premium Pick

Chicago will try to make it two in a row over the Brewers after building a 5-0 lead on Saturday and then holding on to win 6-5. The Cubs have Javier Assad on the mound and he is 2-0 with a 1.97 ERA and a 1.00 WHIP and he hasn't allowed more than two runs in any of his six starts in 2024. Assad has been even better at home where he has given up just two runs in 16 1/3 innings. The Cub bullpen is tied for second in the National League with 11 saves. The UNDER is 5-0 in Assad's past five starts in Game 3 of a series and his past four starts have stayed UNDER overall. Chicago is 6-0-1 UNDER versus teams that scored at least five runs their previous game. The Cubs are 11-4 at home this season. Take the Cubs and the UNDER as my Total of the Month Max Play.
