Result: Win
#954 ASA TOP PLAY ON 10* Chicago Cubs -145 over San Francisco Giants, Wednesday at 2:20 PM ET - We successfully played the over yesterday as we expected the long-struggling bats of the Giants to finally get going with the wind blowing out at Wrigley Field. They did just that but the Cubs outscored them in the high-scoring win that was an easy over for us.  Wednesday the wind will likely be switching to westerly just before or as this game is going on.  Either way, the Cubs are the team much more likely to again win a high-scoring battle if it would turn into one.  Since the All-Star break, Chicago is averaging 6 runs per game and no NL team has scored more runs than them since the break.  As for San Francisco, they are dead last in the majors for runs scored since the break and having averaged a paltry 3.6 runs per game.  The Giants are hitting just .216 since mid-July with a dismal .344 slugging percentage.  The Cubs slugging percentage over the same period is .460 - more than 100 points higher!  In terms of pitching here, though we are going action on pitchers, Alex Wood has a 6.15 ERA in day games with a .327 batting average against! The Cubs Jordan Wicks is a rookie but he has been rock solid in his first two big league starts and he went undefeated in his 20 starts in the minors while earning the win in seven of those outings for a perfect 7-0 record.  The Giants have lost 5 straight games and are on a 9-20 run in the last 29 games.  The Cubs have won 3 straight games and are on a 13-5 run in the last 18 games.  Take the Cubs at home Wednesday afternoon.
