Chicago has won three of four after defeating the Padres 3-2 on Tuesday when Michael Busch led off the ninth inning with a walk-off home run and the Cubs improved to 13-5 at home. The Cubs are 20-11 against right-handers this season and will face Dylan Cease for the second time this year and he allowed two runs in six innings on April 10. Chicago will counter with Hunter Wesneski, who has a miniscule 0.54 ERA and 0.72 WHIP in 16 2/3 innings pitched and he comes off 6 1/3 shutout innings on three hits against Milwaukee on Friday. Chicago has gone UNDER six of nine and the forecast calls for 10 mph winds blowing in from right-center field. Take the Cubs and the UNDER.
