Yesterday’s MLB slate was as exciting as it gets since baseball fans were craving it after just three games the day prior. There were also mostly afternoon games, which included the start of the Cubs vs. Guardians series. An injury put Chicago on the back foot, but for the Saturday matchup, we’ve got our best Cubs vs. Guardians predictions for today.

It’s also the featured game on FOX, but even if you don’t end up wanting to lock in Cubs vs. Guardians picks at all, we’ve still got you covered with a GUARANTEED 10x Novig Sportsbook promo code bonus.

🔥 Cubs vs. Guardians Predictions for MLB on FOX, 4/4

The series opener of this NL Central vs. AL Central clash was set as a pick ‘em, and one of the popular plays of the day was on Chicago starter Cade Horton and his strikeout prop. Well, some forearm discomfort burned some MLB expert picks, but not to worry - that’s why we’ve got Cubs vs. Guardians predictions for today!

We see that Chicago is slightly favored after yesterday’s loss, and that’s in large part because Shota Imanaga is toeing the rubber. He may not be listed as their ace or considered in that tier, but we do like him more than what Cleveland is countering with, which is sending Slade Cecconi to the mound.

Similarly, as much as we love watching Jose Ramirez at the plate, the Guardians had one of the least productive offseasons in baseball. Meanwhile, Chicago was able to keep the aforementioned Imanaga while also grabbing Alex Bregman to help replace the loss of Kyle Tucker.

Since we’re already alluding to where we’re heading for the best bet from our Cubs vs. Guardians predictions, let’s fully dive into it.

 

 

 

🏅 Cubs vs. Guardians Best Bet: Chicago Money Line (-128 at Novig)

That’s right, just a nice and basic money line pick. They haven’t steered us wrong yet this season, so let’s keep it rolling with what we consider to be a reasonable price. However, if you’d prefer to get more specific, we also wouldn’t mind adding to your Cubs vs. Guardians predictions with an Imanaga strikeout prop.

You’ll see that he’s 0-1 on the year with a 7.20 ERA, but he was also able to rack up seven K’s in that opening outing as well. After Horton left due to injury yesterday, we saw Colin Rea get thrust into action and rack up four K’s before a few bullpen guys came in. Barring another injury, Imanaga should improve to 2-0 against Cleveland.

We’re also backing Chicago with our Cubs vs. Guardians predictions due to the deeper lineup. Sure, they swapped Tucker for Bregman, but let’s not forget that they already had Nico Hoerner, Ian Happ, Dansby Swanson and Pete Crow-Armstrong. In other words, they didn’t need to put their focus there.

Cleveland did need to add to Ramirez, but they didn’t. So, we love Chicago’s money line (-128 at Novig) as the best bet from our Cubs vs. Guardians predictions for today.
