10* MLB Runline Grand Slam
(MLB) Chi White Sox vs. Chi Cubs,
Point Spread: -1.50 | -135.00 Chi Cubs (Home)
Result: Loss
T.M. Selection: Chicago Cubs runline.

1) Imanaga had his five-game win streak snapped in his last start, Cubs falling 10-6, but I expect Imanaga to bounce back here on Tuesday in this favorable matchup and not only win this contest, but do so in blowout fashion.

2) Note that Imanaga is in fact 2-0 in his last five home starts with a 1.20 ERA and an opponent .182 batting average.

3) But the bottom line more than anything is that this is a complete starting pitching mismatch and in the end, I think it'll be the difference-maker in this home side blowout, as the White Sox go with the struggling Chris Flexen, who is 4-13 with a ballooned 6.39 ERA since the start of 2023.

4) Lay the 1.5 runs with confidence as White Sox have lost 11 straight games and 20 of last 21 CWS losses by at least a 2-run margin of defeat!

T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Cubs.
