Take #903 Chicago Cubs and Toronto Blue Jays OVER 8.
A.J. Burnett has struggled under the dome at the Rogers Centre this season, and Sean Gallagher has been horrible on the road. Play the Blue Jays and Cubs over the total.
Sean Gallagher and the Cubs travel north of the border to battle the Blue Jays in the opener of a three-game series. Veteran A.J. Burnett gets the call for Toronto.
The Jays have dropped their last three games when Burnett has toed the rubber. Burnett got blasted in his last outing allowing eight earned runs on 10 hits and was gone by the fifth inning. Of extreme interest to those of us who are playing the Over tonight is what Burnett has done under the dome this season. It’s not pretty. Burnett is 2-3 with a whopping 9.00 ERA in six appearances (five starts) at home this year.
Meanwhile, the 22-year-old Gallagher has had recent trouble on the road going 0-2 with two no-decisions and a 5.93 ERA in four road starts this year, and tonight marks his first career start against Toronto. Finally, the Over is 7-2 in the Blue Jays' last nine interleague games.
Free Pick: Cubs-Blue Jays Over 8 (-115)
