Cubs vs. Orioles Prediction, Odds, Probable Pitchers, Prop Bets for Tuesday, July 7

The Chicago Cubs hit the road for a three-game set against the Baltimore Orioles after an up-and-down homestand.

The Cubs swept the Padres, but then scored just one run in their first two games against the Cardinals. They bounced back on Sunday, though, with a 6-4 win, and were off on Monday ahead of this series.

Baltimore is back at home after a quick trip to Cincinnati. They won the first two games against the Reds before falling 3-2 on Sunday.

Here are the odds, probable pitchers, and predictions for Cubs vs. Orioles on Tuesday, July 7.

Cubs vs. Orioles Best MLB Prop Bets

Cubs Best MLB Prop Bet

Pete Crow-Armstrong OVER 1.5 Bases (-102)

Pete Crow-Armstrong has raised his batting average nearly 40 points and his slugging percentage over 80 points in less than a month. Since June 10, the outfielder is 35 for 88 with eight home runs, six doubles, and two triples for a .398 batting average and .784 slugging percentage.

Crow-Armstrong has gone OVER 1.5 bases in five of his last six games, and 18 of 23 during that stretch. I’ll take these pick’em odds for him to do it again tonight in Baltimore.

Cubs vs. Orioles Prediction and Pick

The Cubs hit a bit of a road bump in St. Louis, but they came back nicely with that win on Sunday and now head to Baltimore to face a struggling Orioles squad.

Sure, Baltimore won three of its last four games, but that came after a four-game losing streak.

The Orioles are just 10-16 vs. left-handed starters like Boyd this season, with the Cubs 38-29 vs. RHP.

I’ll back the better team as a slight road favorite tonight.

Pick: Cubs -115
