Blue Jays vs Rays Prediction 

Toronto comes into this matchup looking for their fifth straight win, as they continue to hold off the Yankees in the East. The Blue Jays are 37-37 on the road this year, while the Rays are 38-36 at home. Tampa Bay is trending in the wrong direction and while they haven’t announced a starting pitcher, it looks like it might be Joe Boyle. Toronto is going with Yesavage, who is making his MLB debut and has pitched well in the minors this year. I have no idea what to expect with this pitching matchup, but I will take the Jays at a decent price here.
