I don't think many people thought the Cubs would be just 2.5 games out after 115 games in the NL Central. The Cubs have been as good as anyone over their last 22 games at 16-6. Toronto is right in the middle of a several-team stack trying to qualify for a wildcard spot in the AL. The Blue Jays have been up and down all season, and currently are a mediocre 12-11 in their last 23 games. The Cubs will send Javier Assad to the mound. Last year he pitched five scoreless innings vs Toronto in his only career start against them. Jose Berrios has not fared well vs the Cubs where he owns a career 5.63 ERA in his three starts. This one has all the makings of going down to the wire, and I like the Chicago Cubs on the runline.
