Predictions, odds, and spread for Cubs vs. Orioles

Key Line Chicago Cubs Baltimore Orioles
Run Line -1.5 +1.5
Run Line Odds +101 -120

Key players you need to watch on the Chicago Cubs

  • Seiya Suzuki – One of the Cubs’ offensive anchors, Suzuki brings a high-contact, extra-base threat from right field; in 2024 he posted a .848 OPS with 21 homers, 16 stolen bases, and elite baserunning/aggression carryover, and entering 2025 he's still a key run producer and lineup catalyst.
  • Shōta Imanaga – Rookie ace-level starting pitcher who has been dominating; his 2.91 ERA in 2025 ranks among the best for qualified pitchers, and he’s delivered multiple extended scoreless outings, giving the Cubs frontline stability in the rotation.
  • Nico Hoerner – Defensive cornerstone up the middle with strong contact ability, leading the team in hits and ranking near the top in batting average (.288 according to team leaderboards) while anchoring the infield and providing high baseball IQ on both sides of the ball.

Key players you need to watch on the Baltimore Orioles

  • Gunnar Henderson – The cornerstone on offense and up the middle, Henderson is still the Orioles’ primary young star even if 2025 hasn’t matched his 2024 breakout; he’s hitting around .283 with a ~.814 OPS and brings power, athleticism, and positional versatility at shortstop, so opposing teams can’t afford to let him get on base or drive in runs.
  • Adley Rutschman – The catcher and emotional leader carries the dual workload of handling the pitching staff and contributing with the bat; 2025 has been a struggle (batting in the .220s with an OPS below .700, plus recent injury/precautionary exits), but he remains a central piece both for his defensive framing and the hope of a rebound if he returns healthy.
  • Grayson Rodriguez – One of the top young arms in the Orioles’ system turned rotation option, Rodriguez represents high-upside pitching depth the team is counting on to stabilize the staff; he’s part of the core young talent the front office has built around alongside Henderson and Rutschman.

Who's winning the Cubs vs. Orioles series?

As of late, the Cubs have seemed like the stronger team, especially at home, with Matthew Boyd being dominant at Wrigley. Look for strong pitching, and Cade Horton to continue his pitching tear, shutting Baltimore out, in a potential dagger to the heart.
