Toronto Blue JaysvsChicago Cubs
TOR 8/CHC 6
The Toronto Blue Jays roll into Wrigley Field this afternoon sitting two games under .500 at 37-39, while the Chicago Cubs have been playing some decent ball at 40-36 and come in as -131 favorites with a run line of 1.5. That over/under of 9 tells you oddsmakers are expecting some offense, so if the starters can't eat innings and the managers go to the pen early, this could get loose in a hurry on the ivy.
The Blue Jays need a win badly — a team with their payroll shouldn't be scrapping at .487 in late June. Bold call: Cubs bullpen blows a lead in the seventh but the heart of the order bails them out with a walk-off in the ninth.
