The Chicago Cubs host the Toronto Blue Jays at Wrigley Field on Friday in the first game of a three match series. Both franchises have experienced difficult seasons and both are currently under .500. However, recent results for the Blue Jays have been encouraging and they come into this game off the back of a 3-0 sweep of the Angels. Despite those results they are still two games adrift at the bottom of the AL East table. As for the Cubs, they lost 3-0 to the Guardian in their last series, but overall, recent results have been encouraging and they still retain hopes of making the post season.

Our Chicago Cubs vs Toronto Blue Jays Prediction

This is a coin flip game between two sides looking for a strong end to the season in order to gatecrash the playoffs. The Blue Jays are arguably in the better form, but the Cubs have been playing well at Wrigley Field in recent weeks. In all honesty, this is probably a game to steer clear off if you are looking for strong betting value. However, if pushed we would take the home side to overcome a one run handicap. Our prediction for Chicago Cubs vs Toronto Blue Jays is: Cubs (-1) to win, +120 at BetMGM.

Prediction:

 

Cubs (-1) to win
