Cheers to the freakin’ weekend.

And this one will feature the Toronto Blue Jays hosting the Chicago Cubs for a three-game set. It comes amid a weekend where the club will celebrate Jose Bautista bringing his name to the ring of honour.

Let’s dive into the odds.

Toronto -143; Chicago +110

Toronto 2-1 +130
Toronto 3-0 +475
Chicago 3-0 +750
Chicago 2-1 +165

*Odds at the time of publishing. Odds subject to change.

Friday: Jose Berrios
Saturday: Chris Bassitt
Sunday: Hyun-Jin Ryu

Friday: Javier Assad
Saturday: Justin Steele
Sunday: Jameson Taillon

Betano loves the Jays here in this series, and it makes a ton of sense. Beyond Steele, the Cubbies aren’t rolling out an A+ group of pitchers. They’re opening the series tonight with Assad out of the bullpen, and Taillon is sporting a career-worst 5.17 ERA this season.

They Jays at -143 to win the series makes sense, and taking them to win the series 2-1 at +130 is a nice number, too.
