Top Cubs vs. Orioles pick
For Orioles vs. Cubs, one of the top picks from SportsLine's model is that Cubs outfielder Ian Happ goes over 0.5 total bases (-154). The model is projecting 1.3 total bases for Happ and rates this as a five-star pick, which is its maximum confidence rating.
Happ is red-hot in July, batting .417 with an .875 slugging percentage and a whopping 1.375 OPS. He's recorded at least one hit in five of his last six games. Burnes presents a tough matchup, but Happ has seen him plenty of times dating back to when Burnes pitched for the Brewers in the NL Central.
Happ has a career .292 average and an OPS of .935 against Burnes, so the model is confident that he'll be able to record at least a base hit in this one, making it one of the top Cubs vs. Orioles prop picks. See more picks at SportsLine.
