Premium Pick

It's the end of a six-game road trip for last place Toronto. Bowden Francis (4.92 ERA) has thrown 81 pitches in each of his last two starts and the bullpen is 28th in ERA (4.96) and WHIP. The offense is 22nd in runs and slugging with no way to manufacture runs (27th in steals). The Blue Jays have lost six straight interleague road games versus a lefty starter. Chicago is on a 10-5 run ranked eighth in steals, while the bullpen is eighth in ERA (3.65). The Cubs are 17-5 in the 22 starts made by southpaw Shota Imanaga (3.16 ERA). They've also won five in a row against losing teams. Play Chicago.
