Chicago CubsvsSeattle Mariners

The preview
The Chicago Cubs roll into T-Mobile Park red-hot at 74-54 and squarely in the playoff hunt, while the Seattle Mariners are treading water at 60-68 but still get a coin-flip line at home, favored just -105 with the total sitting at 8. This is a getaway-day-adjacent late West Coast start, so watch for the Cubs' bullpen to get taxed if the starter can't work deep into the game.
The heart of the Cubs order has been carrying them all season, so if Seattle's starter doesn't get into his stuff early, this could get away from him fast. Bold prediction: Cubs grind out a bullpen win, 5-3, with a two-out knock in the eighth breaking it open.
