St. Louis Cardinals vs Toronto Blue Jays Prediction

The Toronto Blue Jays have simply been the better team this series, and their offense should have success yet again with Miles Mikolas on the mound. Mikolas is no longer his all star self as he's been getting tagged this season and I doubt he finds his footing on the road against a Toronto offense that has respectable bats. Yariel Rodriguez has pitched his best at home and is coming off a couple of solid outings. The price is cheap. Give me the Blue Jays at home.
