Prediction
The free fall continues for the Cubs after managing just one run last night in the series opener. Chicago has now lost five of their last seven, but they are still comfortably in the playoffs for now. Meanwhile, the Blue Jays continue to play well, winning five of their last seven, while getting solid pitching. Horton has been unbelievable for the Cubs lately, but he’s a different pitcher on the road. He has a 1.61 home ERA and 5.71 on the road. Gausman has been steady all season and should have no problem with this struggling Cubs lineup.
Pick: Blue Jays -124
