00:00Let's go to Toronto up in the sixth year.

00:01You got one team, the Toronto Blue Jays, in first place, cruising.

00:05Let's go.

00:05Let's extend this lead.

00:06And then you have the Chicago Cubs going like, what happened here?

00:09We were in first place.

00:11Now find themselves six and a half games back.

00:12By the way, talking about football season, Joe, minus six and a half.

00:15Don't let that get to seven.

00:16That's a key number, Cubs.

00:17Don't let it get there at this point.

00:19Well, Brown's going to be a man taking on Jose Barrios today.

00:21923, 924 in the rotation.

00:23A 707 start.

00:24Slight favorite towards Toronto at home.

00:26Minus 125s overnight.

00:28Now we're seeing minus 120s in the sports landscape, depending on where you're betting at.

00:32Nines as a total here.

00:34Brown, Barrios, Toronto, Chicago, Joe.

00:37Come on, bring that heat.

00:39Yeah, and listen, I mean, they were managed to avoid this sweep there over the weekend against the Dodgers, Toronto.

00:46Now they get to come home.

00:47They've had a day off.

00:49I believe the roof likely open here today.

00:52Temperatures in the mid 80s.

00:53That ballpark, obviously, for the Toronto Blue Jays has been what they had hoped when they did the renovations, right?

01:01A place for them to actually elevate that offense.

01:04And they've done an amazing job this year.

01:07The Cubs, as good as the offensive numbers are, they are heavily weighted from what they did prior to July.

01:15Because as of the last month, this team can't hit water if they fell out of a boat here, Donnie.

01:21Outside of their last game, that is it.

01:25Now, Barrios can't trust them on the road.

01:28But he has been very, very, he's been good at home.

01:33Certainly serviceable.

01:35I think the bats come alive here for the Blue Jays against Brown.

01:38I don't like the back end of that bullpen for the Cubs.

01:42I like the bullpen for Toronto.

01:44At this price, I like Toronto to get back on track here in their own home park there and handle business against the Cubs.
