Both teams are tied 5-5 in their last 10 meetings and the Reds are 3-1 in their last 4 visits in Toronto.
In this Reds vs Blue Jays Prediction, the Blue Jays are coming as -135 home favorites. Both teams have nothing to play for and I like the Jays at home in this one. Soriano has been in bad shape, but Lodolo has been even worse, sitting on a 5.97 road ERA. On top of that, Toronto has a better bullpen and Cincinnati’s bats have been struggling lately, averaging just 3.1 runs per game in their last 10. Take the Blue Jays to win.
