August 25th Baseball First 5 Team Total Pick

For Friday, I'm taking the Chicago Cubs Over 2.5 runs in the First 5 innings at +124 on DraftKings. 

 

#1 Chicago Cubs are the 5th highest scoring team in baseball

#2 Chicago Cubs are the highest scoring team in baseball since the All-Star Break. Yes, they have scored more runs than the Atlanta Braves. 231-230. 

#3 Mitch Keller is on the bump for the Pirates, tremendous prior to the All-Star Break....not so much after the break. 1-4 record, 6.98 ERA, 1.76 WHIP, and BA of .333. Ouch! 

 

That's enough for me to grab the plus money. Let's get some runs.
