This series in Toronto between the Cubs and Blue Jays has a lot at stake. The Cubs are second in the NL Central, and the Jays lead the AL East. This could be a World Series preview, and should be played at a high level. The Cubs' bats can carry this team, and the pitching has been very good of late, as they allowed just two of their last ten opponents to score more than four runs. Ben Brown gets the ball for the Cubs, and in his last home start, he held the hot-hitting Brewers to two runs. The Cubs have been trending down regarding the total, as they are now 7-1 to the UNDER in August. I like the UNDER in this one.
