Before making any Giants vs. Cubs picks, you NEED to check out the MLB predictions from the SportsLine Project ion Model.
The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every MLB game 10,000 times, and it is a 311-271 on top-rated MLB money-line picks since the start of the 2021 season. This is the same model that pegged the 2021 Atlanta Braves at 10-1 as one of three best bets to win it all last season. Anybody who has followed it has seen profitable returns.
The model knows Giants left fielder Joc Pederson is a smooth athlete who owns a quality swing. Pederson has the plate coverage and bat speed to spray the ball everywhere on the diamond. The two-time All-Star is batting .265 with 22 home runs and 62 RBI. In his last outing, he belted a solo home run.
