The Chicago Cubs will face the San Francisco Giants in Game 2 of a three-game series at Wrigley Field. Game 2 is scheduled for 2:20 p.m. EDT this afternoon. The best odds, lines, and picks for today's game are here.
The Cubs defeated the Giants in Game 1 and got a much-needed win to boost their morale. Even though this took their record to 58-80, they are still out of contention and still have no hope of making it to the playoffs this season. They will definitely look to clinch the series today.
The Giants are 65-73 overall and need to have a near-perfect run toward the end of the season in order to make it to the playoffs. They are on a five-game losing streak. Therefore, it is high time that they took it up a notch to keep their hopes alive of making it to the postseason.

He has a 0-4 record at home, which is pretty concerning for the Cubs. In his last start against the Giants, he got a win, in which he gave out zero runs on eight hits, in six IP. It will be interesting to see his strategy for today's game.
The Giants will start Logan Webb on the mound. He has been having a pretty decent season so far with a 12-8 (W-L), an ERA of 2.89, 1.18 WHIP, and 143 Ks. He won in his last start against the Dodgers. This will be his 29th start of the season. He will look to set the tone for his team so that they can conjure up some momentum and strive for a playoffs finish.
