Chicago Cubs vs Toronto Blue Jays Prediction – 8/13/2025
The Toronto Blue Jays reached 70 wins on the season when they defeated the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday night. Chicago will look to level this three-game set at a game apiece on Wednesday. They will need to cool off some hot bats for the Blue Jays in order to do so. Here, I have broken down this interleague matchup and you can find my Cubs vs Blue Jays prediction below.

Key Storylines
Pitching matchup
Both starting pitchers have had good years for their respective clubs. Cade Horton has been sensational for the Cubs. He has a 3.18 ERA and a 1.22 WHIP over 79.1 innings. Horton faces a tough test against a Blue Jays lineup in red-hot form. Kevin Gausman is capable and consistent. His season line of 3.85 ERA and 1.08 WHIP across 135.2 innings speaks volumes about his quality. He recently delivered seven strong innings in a blowout win over the Rockies.
Key Players
Both bullpens will be the key in this game. The relievers for each team surrendered just one run in Tuesday’s game. The team that can repeat that performance or improve on it will have the inside track to winning this matchup on Wednesday.
Recent team streaks
The Blue Jays have won two games in a row and they will look for a third straight victory tonight. The Cubs have dropped two straight games and three of their last four.

Final Thoughts
The Toronto Blue Jays have a won of momentum right now as they look to run away with the AL East. Chicago is comfortably in a Wild Card position in the National League for now but they are not playing the same caliber of baseball as the Blue Jays at the moment. I expect the Jays to continue their winning ways tonight and to force the Red Sox and Yankees to keep winning just to keep pace with them in the standings.
