Cleveland Guardians vs Toronto Blue Jays Prediction
The Guardians have had issues with their pitching staff over the last week, and Williams is one of those pitchers who has struggled. In his last 23 innings, Williams has allowed 26 hits and 14 earned runs while walking 13. In 14.2 road innings, Williams has a 5.52 ERA and eight walks. The Blue Jays are coming off three nice wins, and while Gausman has had issues as well this season, he’s been at his best at home, where he has a 3.00 ERA and .209 allowed batting average. Gausman is allowing just a .203 batting average in 34 innings, so it’s not like he’s getting rocked out here. Give me the Blue Jays and the reasonably cheap price.
