Boston Red Sox vs Chicago Cubs 7/3/2022 Picks Predictions Previews

The Boston Red Sox will meet with the Chicago Cubs in MLB action in Wrigley Field, IL, on Sunday, July 3, 2022, at 2:20 PM ET.

The Red Sox’s bullpen is still a problem for them as they compete for the AL Wild Card, and on Friday they squandered an opportunity to defeat the struggling Cubs by squandering a late lead.

Jarren Duran immediately opened the scoring with a solo shot at the top of the first inning. Jackie Bradley Jr. then cleared the bases with a double in the next frame, but the Cubs rallied and led in the sixth.

With a collective OPS of.744, which is the fifth-best in baseball, this Boston attack is sixth overall with 4.79 runs scored per game. With a 3.67 team ERA, Boston’s pitching is sixth in the Majors, including a recent decline in bullpen performance with a 3.79 ERA.

Connor Seabold, who went 4.2 innings in a spot start against the Blue Jays on Monday and gave up 7 runs on nine hits and one walk while striking out 7 to take the loss, might be the Red Sox’s go-to pitcher now that no official starter WAS named. After 7.2 career innings and his 2022 debut, Seabold has a 10.57 ERA.

The Red Sox are 26-15 in their road games against the spread.
The totals went OVER in 4 of the Red Sox’s last 5 games.
The totals went OVER in 15 of the Red Sox’s 36 last games at home.

Boston Red Sox vs Chicago Cubs Predictions 7/3/2022

The Cubs were playing a bit better recently thanks to a few interesting young players, and they were able to climb into third place with an upset victory over the Red Sox on Friday.

Nelson Velazquez’s triple in the bottom of the fifth inning gave Chicago their first run, and in that inning, Rafael Ortega walked with the bases loaded and added an RBI groundout.

In the following inning, Morel hit a home run to tie the game, and Willson Contreras later scored the winning run on a wild pitch.

The Cubs produced a respectable offense, averaging 4.44 runs per game on a.729 team OPS, despite their general problems.

On the pitching side, things didn’t go so smoothly; Chicago is fifth-worst with an ERA of 4.84, including a record of 4.64 from the bullpen. Keegan Thompson is scheduled to make his 18th start and 10th start of the season. He is 7-3 with a 3.34 ERA over 67.1 innings, and he is expecting to continue his good performance.

The 27-year-old pitcher will want to rebound after a defeat to the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday when he racked up eight Ks while giving up four runs on eight hits and no walks across 6.1 innings.

The Cubs are 19-16 in their road games against the spread.
The totals went OVER in 4 of the Cubs’ last 5 games.
The totals went OVER in 21 of the Cubs’ 42 last games at home.

Boston Red Sox vs Chicago Cubs. The MLB pick for this game is the Chicago Cubs. Despite the fact that the Red Sox are clearly the superior club, Boston’s pitching staff is in terrible shape given the rotation’s ongoing problems.

The Cubs’ offense is capable of causing damage against the spot starter, and Thompson is having a breakout season. The Cubs’ offense, which ranks 13th with a 103 wRC+ and includes dynamic young players like youngster Morel, was not a concern.

Seabold pitched 7.2 innings in his MLB career and gave up nine earned runs, including four home runs. He was also severely struck earlier this week in his 2022 debut. With a 79 ERA/95 FIP in his first complete season and 23 percent of opposing batters struck out, Thompson showed a lot of promise this year. W

ith one of its few effective pitchers on the mound, bet for Chicago to pull off the shock. The Chicago Cubs will win to a predicted score of 6-2.
