Washington Nationals vs Toronto Blue Jays Prediction

Give me the Blue Jays here. This game is going to come down to the pitching, and there is a big advantage with the pitching with the Blue Jays. Francis is really an overlooked part of this Blue Jays squad, and last year, he finished with an ERA of 3.30. The Nationals' offense still isn’t all that talented, and they are going to really struggle to get the offense going here. The Blue Jays are going to get their offense going early, and they will come out on top. Back the Blue Jays on the run line.
