Blue Jays vs Tigers Prediction
These two teams come into this matchup trending in opposite directions, as Toronto is looking like one of the top teams in the MLB right now. The Blue Jays are 25-25 on the road this year, while the Tigers are 32-20 at home. Detroit is desperately trying to break out of this funk and they are starting Skubal, who has allowed one earned run or fewer in three of his last four starts. Toronto is going with Gausman, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in four of his last five. I know Skubal is one of the best in the MLB, but we are getting a great price on Toronto against a Detroit team that is in a bad place right now. Take the Jays here.
