img3:07 PM Eastern

Chicago is on a 9-1-1 run UNDER the total. The defense is seventh in fielding percentage, while the bullpen is 13th in ERA (3.83). Starter Matthew Boyd (2.45 ERA) has 121 strikeouts in 135+ innings while holding batters to a .230 average. Toronto has its own ace going in Max Scherzer, who has 49 Ks in 47 innings. He's allowed three runs or less in his last three starts (19 innings). These teams have split the first two of this series, 5-1 and 4-1, both sailing UNDER, and this shapes up as another pitcher's duel. Take Chicago/Toronto UNDER the total.
