The Chicago Cubs will go against the Toronto Blue Jays in MLB action in Rogers Center, CAN, on August 30, 2022, at 7:07 PM ET.

 

Chicago lost its fourth game in a row on Monday at Toronto after blowing a late lead despite recently playing competitive baseball, even against teams in playoff position.

 

Early runs from Willson Contreras and Nico Hoerner gave the Cubs the advantage before P.J. Higgins made it 4-0 with a two-run double in the sixth. However, the Blue Jays began their comeback in the eighth and eventually walked it off.

 

For the 19th time this year, Marcus Stroman will start on the mound. In his first 96.2 innings wearing a Cubs uniform, he went 3-6 with a 4.10 ERA.

 

The 31-year-old gave up five runs on 11 hits, two walks, and one strikeout in a defeat to the St. Louis Cardinals last Thursday.

 

  • The Chicago Cubs are 1-4 SU in their last 5 matches. 
  • The total went UNDER in 4 of the Chi Cubs’ last 6 matches on the road.

Chicago Cubs vs Toronto Blue Jays Predictions 8/30/2022

 

The Blue Jays appeared to be destined for another difficult loss after being completely shut down by the Angels over the weekend, but they managed to turn things around late on Monday to defeat the Cubs.

 

Before Matt Chapman tied the game with an RBI single in the eighth and Danny Jansen won it with an RBI single in the eleventh, the Blue Jays got underway in the seventh on a three-run home drive by Danny Jansen.

 

For the 25th time this season, Kevin Gausman will start on the mound. He is 9-9 with a 3.15 ERA and an incredible 155:22 K:BB ratio over 134.1 innings.

 

Last Thursday against the Boston Red Sox, the 31-year-old had a rare poor performance, giving up four runs on nine hits in five innings while striking out six.

 

  • Toronto is 8-4 SU in their last 12 games. 
  • The total went OVER in 4 of Toronto’s last 6 matches against the Chi Cubs. 
  • The Toronto Blue Jays are 2-6 SU in their last 8 matches at home.

Chicago Cubs vs Toronto Blue Jays. The MLB pick for this game is the Toronto Blue Jays. Despite the Blue Jays’ existing challenges, this pitching duel is advantageous enough to make up for them.

 

Gausman is perhaps the finest pitcher in baseball this year according to advanced analytics, yet the Cubs lack the offense and bullpen necessary to compete.

 

As we witnessed on Monday, the rebuilding Cubs will struggle to maintain a lead since they have the eighth-worst ERA in the Majors and are only improving after trade deadline deals.

 

Chicago has the ability to compete with some teams, but trying to stay up with Gausman is unreasonable. The Toronto Blue Jays will win to a predicted score of 6-3.
