Blue Jays vs. Cubs Prediction, Odds, Probable Pitchers, Prop Bets for Thursday, Aug. 6

The Blue Jays just took two of three from the Astros and are now 6-3 in their last nine games. Meanwhile, the Cubs got back on track in a big way with a sweep of the Dodgers after dropping two of three to the Yankees.

These teams split their two games at Wrigley back in June.

Here are the odds, probable pitchers, and predictions for Blue Jays vs. Cubs on Thursday, Aug. 6.

Blue Jays vs. Cubs Best MLB Prop Bets

Blue Jays Best MLB Prop Bet

Dylan Cease UNDER 4.5 Hits Allowed (-135)

Dylan Cease danced around trouble at times early in the season, but has largely limited hits against over the past few months.

Cease has allowed four hits or fewer in 11 of his last 12 starts dating back to May 13. The Cubs are hot, but if anyone can put a stop to that, it’s Cease.

Blue Jays vs. Cubs Prediction and Pick

While I don’t think the Cubs will be able to get too many hits off of Cease, it’s still a bit peculiar that the Cubs are home underdogs this afternoon.

It’s tough to put too much trust into Peterson, but he’s been great in his last four starts.

I’ll back the Cubs at Wrigley Field, where they’re 34-24 this season.

Pick: Cubs +104
