Chicago Cubs MLB Prop Bets - Tuesday 6/11/24

 Mike Tauchman - Singles Over 0.5 (-105)

Chicago right fielder Mike Tauchman has 52 hits this season, which include 36 singles. Tauchman is hitting a single 69% of the time he has a base hit. Tauchman has hit one single or more in three of the last five, as well as in nine of the Cubs’ last 15. I am confident that Tauchman will have one single or more on Tuesday versus Tampa Bay pitching. 

Jameson Taillon - Total Earned Runs Over 2.5 (-140)

Chicago's starting pitcher for Tuesday will be Jameson Taillon. The right-hander is 3-2 with a 3.47 ERA, 35 Ks and 13 BBs. Taillon has been hit hard in four consecutive outings. On May 4, Taillon had an ERA of just 1.13 but in five starts since has had his ERA jump to its current 3.47. Taillon has allowed 2.50 earned runs or more in five straight starts and I am confident that Tuesday will be the sixth straight time he allows over 2.5 earned runs.
