We're headed to Wrigley Field for this week's Sunday Night Baseball game, and Jameson Taillon takes the mound for the host Cubs against Trevor McDonald and the Giants. The Giants' bats have been going off, with San Francisco scoring 12 runs on 20 hits in the finale against the Brewers on Thursday, then putting up 18 runs on 19 hits against Edward Cabrera on Friday in Chicago. The Cubs took Saturday's game 3-2, so can San Francisco get the bats rolling again? This is the final game of a 10-game road trip for the Giants, so there could be a letdown with them being out of their element for an extended period of time.
First pitch for Sunday Night Baseball is set for 8:30 p.m. ET at Wrigley Field. The latest consensus Giants vs. Cubs odds list Chicago as a -131 home favorite on the money line (risk $131 to win $100), with San Francisco priced at +110 (risk $100 to win $110) and the Over/Under for total runs set at 8 (Over -105, Under -115).

Here's a look at his best same-game parlay for Giants vs. Cubs on Sunday Night Baseball.
Giants vs. Cubs same-game parlay
- Michael Busch Over 1.5 hits, runs, RBI
- Rafael Devers Over 1.5 hits, runs, RBI
Same-game parlay odds: +244 at DraftKings
The Cubs won a lower-scoring affair Saturday, and with this being a night game with the wind blowing heavily in from right-center, it looks like the environment dictates another lower-scoring game, though the starting pitchers skew things more to the Over.
Jameson Taillon has struggled allowing home runs, with 20 surrendered on the season and eight of those coming at home. He's at least been better in Wrigley Field, and the wind should help keep the ball in the ballpark, but the heat and humidity are bumping up, which does help the ball travel farther. The wind is the biggest factor in this stadium, though, and that leads me to believe Taillon could have a solid start here if some of those long fly balls can stay in the yard.
The Under 2.5 home runs in the game totals section on Draftkings is -200, and I see that as a solid parlay piece as well for tonight. Trevor McDonald has run into some issues this year with lefties but he's been a serviceable starter for the Giants, covering at least five innings in all but one start, and being that the Cubs have never seen him before, I would not be surprised if they needed at least one time through the batting order to figure him out.
Michael Busch Over 1.5 hits, runs, RBI
McDonald has allowed a .284 average to left-handed batters, and Busch is one of the Cubs' best. He should be in there again near the top of the order for the home team, and after he had two hits in the victory Saturday, I'm going to back him to have another solid performance and go over the 1.5 hits, runs and RBI line both as a straight bet and within this parlay.
Despite two strikeouts on Saturday, Busch was able to get on base in three of five at-bats, which should provide some positive momentum for him here as the Cubs look to win the series.

Rafael Devers Over 1.5 hits, runs, RBI
The Giants are familiar with Taillon, and one of the hitters who has crushed him in the past is Devers. With two home runs and six RBI in just 13 at-bats, I'm going to back the Giants slugger to go over the 1.5 hits, runs and RBI line with Busch in the parlay while also playing it straight at plus odds.
Devers also has hit the Over in three straight games, and with some added confidence knowing he's done well against Taillon before, he's one of my favorite picks tonight in terms of hitter props. The projections like him too, especially at this price and projecting to hit second in the Giants batting order as the away team.
If you wanted to take these two hitters in a parlay for just 1 hit, run and RBI each, it comes out to -120, and I like that too.
