He threw seven one-run innings against the A\u2019s, allowing three hits with no walks and nine strikeouts. The southpaw made one start against the Cubs last year, throwing six shutout innings as a member of the Astros.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-15\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"96\">David Peterson has had two solid starts with the Cubs, but his lone outing at Wrigley Field went south quickly. He allowed 10 runs on nine hits, with just one of those balls leaving the yard, in 3.2 innings against the Cardinals.<\/p>\n<p>Tigers vs. Cubs How to WatchDate: Tuesday, July 21Time: 8:05 p.m. ETVenue: Wrigley FieldHow to Watch (TV): DSN, MARQTigers record: 47-53Cubs record: 56-44Tigers vs. Cubs Best MLB Prop BetsCubs Best MLB Prop BetSeiya Suzuki OVER 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs (-115)<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-21\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"9o\">Seiya Suzuki cashed this prop for us last night with a home run, and now we\u2019re getting it about 20 cents cheaper against a southpaw.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-22\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"9r\">The outfielder is now 13 for 34 in a nine-game hitting streak with three home runs and four doubles. He\u2019s scored nine runs and drove in eight in that span.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-23\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"9u\">Suzuki is also batting .317 vs. LHP and .289 at home.<\/p>\n<p>Tigers vs. Cubs Prediction and Pick<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-25\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"a0\">The wind is blowing in tonight at Wrigley Field, so the total has adjusted to that, but I think it\u2019s a bit too low given the pitching matchup.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-26\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"a3\">Valdez isn\u2019t what he once was, and you can\u2019t trust Peterson at all.
