TOR vs. CHC (Under 8.5)
(MLB) Blue Jays (TOR) vs. Cubs (CHC),
Total: 8.50 | -120.00 Under
Result: Win
Betting Trend: The under is 20-13-1 in Chicago's interleague games this year.

The home team's splits haven't improved since the All-Star break, and Chris Bassitt has been more reliable on the road than at home this season. In an interleague matchup between unfamiliar opponents, he has an advantage. As long as the Cubs don't jump all over him early, he should be able to limit their scoring opportunities.

Justin Steele has held 13 of his 19 opponents to three or fewer runs. He has been lights out in his August outings, allowing just three runs (two earned) with 14 strikeouts in 12.2 combined innings. The Blue Jays have only faced him once before and won't find things easier against the Chicago bullpen, which boasts the second-lowest ERA (2.13) in the second half of the season.

I favor a wager on the under in tomorrow afternoon's Blue Jays-Cubs game!
