Both teams are tied 4-4 in their last 8 meetings and the Cubs are 3-1 in their lats 4 meetings in Chicago.
In this Blue Jays vs Cubs Prediction, the Cubs are coming as -130 home favorites. I don’t trust either pitcher in this matchup, as they both have been shaky at best this season and are coming into this matchup in terrible form, having 8.49 and 7.98 ERA in their last three starts. The Cubs are the top team against lefties in the past week and they dropped 16 runs yesterday, so I will go over the 9 runs in this one.
