Elsewhere on the 15-game Saturday MLB schedule, the model is backing two underdogs, taking the Angels +1.5 on the run line (-153) against the Orioles. It also likes the Twins (-105) to win outright against the Astros.

Max Fried, who is currently the second-favorite to win the AL Cy Young Award behind Tarik Skubal, will get the ball, looking for his first win against the Red Sox as a member of the Yankees. Fried has been sensational in his first season with the Bronx Bombers. The former Brave is 9-1 with a 1.84 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and a .198 batting average against.

While both teams have trended towards the Under across their last 10 games, a larger sample size suggests the Cubs are a run machine. The hosts sit second in the majors with 382 runs, and only the Los Angeles Dodgers and Boston Red Sox have served up more hits.
