Cubs vs Mariners prediction
The Mariners and plus money at home is intriguing, but Emerson Hancock has been rough through 2 starts, and that includes allowing 8 runs in 3.1 innings against the Brewers. Shota Imanaga hasn’t allowed a run through 10 innings and has 12 strikeouts to go with 0 walks. It’s still early in Imanaga’s career, but the dude is dealing through two MLB games. I like it. Give me the Cubs and the reasonable price.
