Summary
Chicago enters the rematch after routing Toronto on Friday, with the preview favoring the Cubs at -130 behind a fresher bullpen.
Patrick Corbin brings a 4.57 ERA for Toronto and has allowed 11 runs over his last 11.2 innings, while Cubs hitters own a .316 average against him.
Colin Rea has struggled in June—13 earned runs in 14.2 innings—but has been far better at Wrigley Field with a 3.03 home ERA.
Michael Conforto stands out as a matchup play against Corbin, going 12-for-36 with seven extra-base hits, including five homers, against the left-hander.
The game comes with both clubs looking for steadier form: Toronto is 37-39 and dealing with pitching injuries, while the Cubs have swung from two 10-game winning streaks to a 13-24 slide since May 9.
