Minnesota Twins pitcher Taj Bradley has been a dominant force in July, recording a 3-0 record with a mere four earned runs allowed across 19 innings pitched, striking out 27 batters during the same span. He is set to start for the Twins on Saturday at Wrigley Field.
Bradley's recent success will be put to the test against the Chicago Cubs' Matthew Boyd, who has also won his last three starts. However, Boyd's recent outings have seen him give up nine runs in his last 27 innings. Boyd has a single loss in nine starts this season, which occurred in March.
The New York Post betting analyst, known as 'Stitches', is predicting a win for Boyd and the Cubs, with odds at -144 on DraftKings. Stitches has been handicapping baseball for the Post since 2019 and also won the Post's NFL Best Bet crown last year.
