Blue Jays vs Cubs Picks for Today's MLB Game

This game triggered one of our Action PRO betting systems, powered by Evan Abrams:

Focuses exclusively on Cubs home games, where wind direction is a major scoring variable.

When wind blows in or across (from the sides), and the total opens between 8 and 13, Unders become highly valuable.

Wrigley is uniquely sensitive to weather due to its field orientation and lack of a dome, making it the premier ballpark for wind-based betting edges.

How To Make Blue Jays vs Cubs Picks and Best Bets

It looks like the wind is blowing in from left field at around 10 MPH, which should help dampen right-handed fly balls heading that way.

Backing these two starting pitchers is a scary proposition.

However, Patrick Corbin has reasserted himself as a somewhat OK starting pitcher, and he's been solid at homer prevention (1.03 HR/9 allowed this season). Meanwhile, Colin Rea can't be as bad as his 5.35 ERA indicates (4.76 xFIP, 4.41 botERA), and he has the same strikeout minus walk rate as Corbin (8.5%).

It helps that these are two elite defensive teams, while Toronto has the league's best bullpen.

I also hope these two offenses hit some game-to-game regression after yesterday's 18-run fireworks fest.

Pick: Under 9 (-110 or Better)
