The read
Let's pull no punches here. The Blue Jays' starter, Max Scherzer (ERA: 3.83, WHIP: 1.07), is more than equipped to handle the Cubs' lineup.
His high strikeout count (52 in 54.0 IP) spells trouble for a Cubs team that hasn't been lighting it up at the plate. Despite Matthew Boyd's solid ERA (2.46), his WHIP (1.02) suggests he's been dancing on a tightrope, and I reckon the Jays' bats are just the ones to knock him off it.
Sure, the odds are steep, but in this business, sometimes you've got to pay the piper to hear the tune.
