SAN FRANCISCO: Samardzija has pitched well in back-to-back games. After flirting with a no-hitter in a loss to the Mets on Sunday Night Baseball two starts ago, he scattered seven hits over seven innings in the Giants’ 7-0 win over the Braves last Friday. He struck out six while walking three to improve to 11-9 on the season.

OUR PICK: The Giants have been a bad bet in Chicago of late, losing all four of their last four games in the Windy City. They’re also 2-6 in Samardzja’s last eight road starts and are 1-4 in his last five starts overall. They’re coming off a win against the Diamondbacks, but are just 2-9 in their last 11 games following a victory as well. The Cubs should take Game 1 of this four-game series tonight.
