I'm glad we didn't take the run line yesterday in the baseball game.We had the under eight for the game between the White Sox and Tigers, and it ended 4-3.
The Tigers did pull off the win, but as I mentioned, it wasn't justified that Detroit should be -250, even with Tarik Skubal on the mound.Today, we shift to the Chicago National League team as the Cubs host the Blue Jays.The Toronto Blue Jays are a team I've written about probably more than most squads in the league.
That's not a complaint or anything, it just happens that I see a lot of value in their games.Most of that is because when they are favorites, they aren't big favorites given their 37-39 record and rash of injuries to their pitching staff.
When they are dogs, they are usually pretty small pups, offering little value, but that means the opposing favorite isn't too high of a price.CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGEPete Crow-Armstrong #4 of the Chicago Cubs rounds the bases after hitting a solo home run in the eighth inning during the game between the Chicago Cubs and the St.Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium on Saturday, May 30, 2026 in St.
Louis, Missouri.(Photo by Ali Overstreet/MLB Photos via Getty Images) (Ali Overstreet/MLB Photos via Getty Images)The Jays were blitzed by the Cubs yesterday, and they will need a strong start today from Patrick Corbin.
The once highly touted hurler is just 2-3 with a 4.57 ERA and a 1.48 WHIP.He had a decent year with the Rangers, but seems to be struggling again, as he did in his time with the Nationals.
Corbin is a little more reliable on the road, given that he has pitched 10 more innings and has allowed three fewer runs on the road than at home, leading to a 3.57 ERA.He hasn't given the Blue Jays much lately, going just 11.2 innings in three starts and allowing 11 runs on 17 hits.
Cubs hitters are very strong against him, batting .316 against him.The Cubs are one of the more frustrating teams to watch this season.Perhaps that is me just saying that...
