Brewers vs Blue Jays Prediction 

Toronto comes into this contest looking to avoid being swept in this series, but they need to find more offense, as they have scored just three runs in two games. The Blue Jays are 44-24 at home this year, while the Brewers are 40-28 on the road. Milwaukee continues to cruise in the NL Central and they are starting Woodruff, who has allowed eight earned runs and 10 hits in his last 10.0 innings of work. The Blue Jays are going with Scherzer, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in four of his last five starts. I like what I have seen from Scherzer recently, so I will back the Jays here.
