The Chicago Cubs entered this series on the heel of being swept by the Guardians, but now have a chance to do some sweeping of their own vs. the Jays and our MLB expert believes strong pitching will make it a reality.
Shota Imanaga is the focus of my Cubs vs Blue Jays predictions as as he looks to build upon his impressive debut season in the MLB. Saturday starter Justin Steele threw just two innings due to a rain delay but Sunday should look a little different with clear skies andtaking the mound. The southpaw has impressed in his first MLB season with a 9-2 record through 22 starts to go along with a 3.16 ERA – the fourth-best mark among National League starters.
With Imanaga having the edge in this matchup and the Cubs owning one of the best bullpens in the majors, I think Chicago should complete the sweep in a comfortable fashion.Bowden Francis has had an up-and-down season with multiple stints in Triple-A, but the right-hander is currently enjoying what’s probably the best run of form in his Major League career.
The Cubs are 5-1 in their last six home games and have won six straight meetings against the Blue Jays at Wrigley Field.
