Cubs vs Orioles NRFI/YRFI Prediction Today
The combination of Corbin Burnes’ first-inning production and the Cubs’ below-average starting offense suggests that the Orioles would be the more likely team to score a run in the first inning. Though Gunnar Henderson and Adley Rutschman have both flashed greatness at times, this spot does not set up particularly well for them. Shota Imanaga has been dominant to start games this season, and the weather isn’t expected to provide much forgiveness for hitters.
