Toronto Blue Jays vs. New York Mets Prediction

I’m on the Blue Jays in this one. I think it’s only a matter of time before Toronto’s bats have a breakout performance, and I think this could be a spot where that breakout happens. It’s a small sample size, but the Blue Jays right now are the best team in baseball against left-handed pitching and that’s not good for a southpaw in Peterson, who struggled in limited action against the Blue Jays in his career. Francis almost had a no-hitter in his lone start against the Mets last season before the bullpen choked it away, and I think Toronto makes amends and gets the win here. Give me Toronto.
