The Chicago Cubs are making quite the statement this week against the AL-leading Baltimore Orioles, leading their series 2-0. The Cubs look to complete the sweep Thursday night at 6:35 p.m. ET from Baltimore.
The Cubs will be starting Justin Steele while Baltimore is set to roll out Albert Suarez, who owns a solid 2.48 ERA with a 5-2 record. Suarez has not faced most of the Cubs order while the Orioles are fairly familiar with Steele. Baltimore is hitting just .270 against Steele throughout his career, with 10 hits across 37 at-bats.

Chicago Cubs vs. Baltimore Orioles Prediction
- CHI vs. BAL pick: CHI+1.5 (-190)
Chicago is moving different lately, and Steele has a strong record against the Orioles throughout his career. Did we mention it’s his birthday today?
There’s a reason Cubs +1.5 is a popular play. The Orioles have yet to be swept this season at home, and one of the best batting teams in the country is unlikely to go down without a fight. However, the Cubs have thoroughly dominated this series from the mound and more importantly, from the plate.
This one will be closer than Games 1 and 2, and with the pitchers both facing favorable matchups tonight I’d also lean towards the under.

All odds above via DraftKings Sportsbook.
It’s hard to bet against Steele on his birthday, folks. Not to mention he’s performed well against the Orioles in the past and has been over this total in 3 of his last 4 starts.
Hoerner has had a strong series against the Orioles and recorded a pair of hits last night. This is the longshot pick, but it’s best to ride the hot hand.
Suarez has pitched 6 innings in each of his last 2 starts, but they came against teams faring much worse than the Cubs have looked in recent weeks. He’s recorded more than 15 outs just 3 times since the start of May.
