The most wagered on side for Major League Baseball Saturday afternoon is the Cubs seeing 80% of the action as a -150 favorite versus Minnesota.
Chicago won the first game of this series yesterday and the two previous overall meetings but those were way back in 2015.
PITCHING MATCHUP: Twins LH Adalberto Mejia (2017: 4-7, 4.50 ERA) vs. Cubs RH Tyler Chatwood (3-5, 3.95)
Mejia will be called up from Triple-A Rochester to make his first big-league appearance of the season. The 25-year-old made 21 starts for the Twins a year ago and held his own, pitching at least five innings and allowing three or fewer runs 10 times. Mejia has pitched well at Triple-A this season, going 4-2 with a 2.74 ERA in 11 games (nine starts).
Chatwood is winless in seven starts since May 11, and he hasn’t posted a quality start since April 29.
