The Chicago Cubs (39–36, 22-16 at Wrigley!) host the Toronto Blue Jays (36–38, 15-20 on the road!) for the start of a three-game series at the iconic Wrigley Field on Friday afternoon! This is OUR HOUSE and we’re HEAVY FAVORITES (63.5% win probability!) against a Blue Jays team that STRUGGLES away from Toronto!

Can we dominate the Blue Jays at home and start the series strong?
Cubs Season: 39-36, STRONG AT WRIGLEY!
Record: 39-36 (Three Games Over .500, 22-16 Home, 17-20 Away)
We’re 39–36 and sitting comfortably THREE GAMES OVER .500! But here’s what matters today—we’re 22-16 at Wrigley Field (nearly .580 winning percentage!), which means this is OUR HOUSE! The Blue Jays, meanwhile, are TERRIBLE on the road (15-20!) and they’re coming to one of the toughest places to play in baseball!
Why We’re Dominant at Home:
- 22-16 record at Wrigley (.579 winning percentage—ELITE!)
- Cubs bats produce at home with a .276 AVG, .349 OBP, .505 SLG!
- 16 home runs, 42 RBIs (home production!)
- Wrigley Field history is on our side!
- Home crowd energy makes a REAL difference!
Recent Form:
- 39-36 record (THREE games over .500!)
- Strong at home but struggling away (17-20 on road!)

- 3-game series at Wrigley (can dominate here!)
We’re BUILT to win at Wrigley and the Blue Jays are walking into our toughest environment!
Toronto Blue Jays: 36-38, ROAD STRUGGLES!
Record: 36-38 (Two Games Under .500, 15-20 Away!)
The Blue Jays are 36–38 and hovering just below .500! But the REAL story is their horrific road record (15-20!)—they’re TERRIBLE away from Toronto! They have a decent batting average (.295!) but they can’t seem to translate that into road wins!
Blue Jays Challenges:
- 36-38 record (Two games under .500!)
- 15-20 away from home (ONE of the worst road records in baseball!)
- Coming to Wrigley Field (one of the hardest places to play!)
- Haven’t figured out how to win away (clear weakness!)
Blue Jays Strengths:
- .295 batting average (solid hitting overall!)
- 15 home runs (power threat!)
- 42 RBIs (producing runs when at home!)
- But NONE of this translates well on the road!
The Blue Jays are VULNERABLE on the road and Wrigley Field is the WORST place for a struggling road team!
