The Toronto Blue Jays have the chance to wipe clean the horrors of getting swept by the Los Angeles Angels over the weekend tonight, when they take on the Chicago Cubs with the opportunity to complete a three-game sweep of their own.

Mitch White (4.24 ERA) will be hoping for a much better result than he had in his last start, giving up seven earned runs in five innings pitched.

Let's dive into the odds for tonight's game, and then I'll breakdown my best bet for this interleague showdown.

Cubs vs. Blue Jays Prediction and Pick

Even though Mitch White ruined by night in Toronto last week, I'm willing to trust him once again.

White had allowed a combined two runs in his two previous starts before last week's disaster, so I'm willing to bet he won't have a second-straight disastrous start.

The Cubs rank 22nd in OPS in the month of August, but to be fair, the Blue Jays aren't much better this month, coming in at 18th in that stat.

Despite seeing plenty of runs in the first two meetings between these teams, I think the UNDER is the sneaky right play tonight.
