Final score: Toronto Blue Jays 2, Chicago Cubs 16

Why this play: The Chicago Cubs’ slightly better run differential and heavier slugging suggest they can outscore the Blue Jays on the moneyline.

Quick read:

Backing the Cubs on the moneyline makes sense when you consider they've scored more runs overall this season compared to Toronto. That edge in run production tends to translate into more wins, even if it’s not a runaway difference.
Chicago’s 87 home runs provide enough pop to trouble the Blue Jays’ pitching, which has allowed more runs than it has scored. When a team can hit with some authority, it’s easier to pick up wins in tight games.
The risk here is that Chicago’s run differential isn’t exactly dominant, so a few bad innings could swing the game the other way. But at least you know the Cubs have the bats to make things interesting—if nothing else, it should be a lively affair.
