After a 3-0 night last night, thanks to the Arizona Diamondbacks and Corbin Carroll, today we'll look at my Toronto Blue Jays vs Chicago Cubs Picks Analysis.
Toronto Blue Jays Vs Chicago Cubs Picks and Preview
The Toronto Blue Jays continue their 3 game series with the Chicago Cubs in matinee action today, at Wrigley Field. The Cubs blitzed the Blue Jays in Game 1 of the series, yesterday afternoon, with a 16-2 rout. Pete Crown-Armstrong and Seiya Suzuki lead the charge as they were a combined 6/8 with 3 runs batted in, more on these 2 a little later. The Jays were forced to turn to Right Fielder Myles Straw to pitch mop up duty for the last inning and a third of the game.
The defending American League Champs have had a mediocre start to the season as they have a record of 37-39, which is 3rd in the AL East. They do only sit 1 game behind the Athletics for the final American League Wild Card Spot. The Chicago Cubs are 40-36 on the season, 3rd in a much tougher NL Central Division. Chicago currently occupies the final National League Wild Card Spot with a half game lead over the Arizona Diamondbacks

Toronto Blue Jays vs Chicago Cubs Game Predictions and Best Bets
Game Pick: Chicago Cubs Team Total Over 4.5 -113 Lucky Rebel
Gambling Twitter has coined the Phrase "Happy Corbin Day" when the journeyman Southpaw has pitched over the past few seasons. Although he has been serviceable this season overall, he has struggled lately. Corbin has allowed 10 earned runs in his past 3 starts, spanning 11 and 2/3 innings pitched. He faces a Chicago Cubs lineup that averages 5 runs per 9 innings at home against Left Handed Pitching. They are also hitting .280 (4th best in MLB), OPS of .811 (6th best in MB) and a wRC+ of 131 (3rd best in MLB). Multiple Chicago hitters have exceptional numbers vs Corbin:
- Michael Conforto 12/36 with 2 Doubles and 5 Home Runs
- Ian Happ 6/19 with a Double and a Home Run
- Nico Hoerner 5/14 with a double
- Carson Kelly 4/7 with a Double and a Home Run
- Seiya Suzuki 6/12 with 2 Home Runs
- Pete Crow-Amstrong 2/4 with a Double
Weather is always a consideration with analyzing baseball games, especially at Wrigley Field. Todays outlook calls for 74 degrees with a 11 MPH wing blowing left to right, giving run scoring a moderate boost. I like the Cubs hitters to build off yesterday's blowout and put up some more crooked numbers today.
Player Props Seiya Suzuki Over 1.5 Total Bases +127
Pete Crow-Armstrong Over 1.5 Total Bases +132 Lucky Rebel
As noted previously, both these hitters have hit Patrick Corbin very well in their careers, and they are both on hot streaks right now. Let's start with Cub Right Fielder Seiya Suzuki, who has hit this mark in 3 straight games, totaling 10 Bases. The right handed outfielder is hitting .294 vs Left Handed Pitching, with 5 extra base hits.
Next we have Cubs Centerfielder Pete Crow-Amstrong. PCA has hit this mark in 9 straight games, totaling 38 Bases. He's hitting .286 vs Left Handed Pitching, with 6 Extra Base Hits.
I like both of these hitters to continue to do damage today.
