    The Chicago Cubs are coming off an exciting walk off victory on Friday against the Toronto Blue Jays. The team's outfielder Seiya Suzuki recorded his first MLB walk off in the bottom of the tenth inning, helping Chicago Snap a three game losing skid. They will look to win their second game in a row and a chance to clinch the series a day early against the Toronto Blue Jays.

    Saturday, August 17th: Justin Steele vs. Chris Bassitt

    The Cubs will go with Justin Steele (3-5, 3.16 ERA) on Saturday against Toronto. He is coming off a six inning shutout performance in the team's win against the Chicago White Sox.

    The Blue Jays will start Chris Bassitt (9-1, 4.30 ERA) as they look to even the series. Bassitt is coming off a dreadful performance against the Oakland Athletics where he allowed seven runs to score in four innings of work. He has a 7.36 ERA across his first two starts of the month.
