Cubs vs. Guardians Game 2 Picks & Prediction
Let’s start with the arms. Shota Imanaga gets the ball for Chicago, and while his 7.20 ERA isn’t pretty, his overall track record suggests better days are coming. Across the diamond, Slade Cecconi has had a rougher start (12.46 ERA, 2.08 WHIP), and command issues could be a real problem against a disciplined Cubs lineup.
The model backs Chicago at nearly 60% confidence, and that checks out. The Cubs simply have the more reliable starter and a slightly steadier offensive floor. On the total, trends are pointing toward the under – five of the last six meetings between these teams have stayed low-scoring, despite what those early ERAs suggest.
Score Prediction: Cubs 5, Guardians 3.
