Chicago Cubs vs Detroit Tigers Prediction

The Detroit Tigers aren’t a good team and haven’t listed a starting pitcher at the time of this article, so I can see why they’re underdogs. Justin Steele has also been sharp this season for the Cubs despite not getting much run support. The problem is neither the Cubs nor Tigers are good baseball teams, and they have nothing to play for at this stage. If getting behind either side, it needs to be worth it. I’m not laying this sort of juice with the Cubs. No way, no how. Give me the Tigers and the big plus money if forced to pick a side.
