Guardians vs Blue Jays Prediction


The Guardians are 7-3 in their last 10 meetings against the Blue Jays and are 3-1 in their last 4 visits in Toronto.

In this Guardians vs Blue Jays Prediction, the Guardians are coming as -130 road favorites. Guardians won the opening game of the series in a high-scoring affair, but I expect the script to change today. Both pitchers have been excellent with a combined 5.74 ERA and both teams are weaker against the opposing starter throw hand, with just 7.9 runs/9. Gausman has been elite at home this season with a 1.56 home ERA and I expect him to suppress the Guardians bats. Take the under 8.

Nikos Lagouretos's Pick: Under 8
