They meet on Friday afternoon to begin a three-game series each hoping to build off strong Thursday victories. The Cubs (33-30) shocked the Athletics with four ninth-inning runs and a 7-6 walk-off win. The Giants (25-38) took two straight off the surging Brewers in Milwaukee. For Friday, the Cubbies go with Edward Cabrera (3-2, 4.00), the Giants with Robbie Ray (3-6, 4.45 ERA).

First pitch is set for 2:20 p.m. ET from Wrigley Field in Chicago. Chicago is a -166 favorite on the money line (risk $166 to win $100) in the latest Cubs vs. Giants odds, with San Francisco priced at +139 (risk $100 to win $139 in profit).
