The Chicago Cubs open up a three-game set against the Toronto Blue Jays with a Friday matinee at Wrigley Field.

The Cubs have won two straight series to get back over .500, and the Blue Jays are looking to stay hot after sweeping the Red Sox at Fenway Park.

Here are the odds, probable pitchers, and predictions for Blue Jays vs. Cubs on Friday, June 19.

Blue Jays vs. Cubs Best MLB Prop Bets

Cubs Best MLB Prop Bet

• Ben Brown UNDER 1.5 Earned Runs (-103)

Ben Brown has allowed multiple runs in just one of his seven starts this season, and that came exactly one month ago against the Brewers. Since then, he’s allowed just three runs in 23.1 innings.

The Blue Jays may be on a three-game winning streak, but they have only scored seven runs in their last two games.

Blue Jays vs. Cubs Prediction and Pick

This is a good pitching matchup and the wind isn’t blowing out at Wrigley this afternoon.

While the Cubs have been able to pile up some runs recently, going up against Gausman should slow them down a bit.

I’ll take the UNDER this afternoon at Wrigley Field.

Pick: UNDER 7 (-101)
