Toronto Blue Jays vs. Detroit Tigers Prediction
I’m on the Blue Jays here. I think that the Tigers are still going to have to be a team that you watch down the stretch as they’re going to be a player in the AL Central, but with Jack Flaherty on the mound, who has not had a ton of success this season and as a result, the Tigers haven’t had a ton of success with him as the starter this season, I can’t justify laying this kind of price with Detroit no matter how hard it is to sweep a team. The Blue Jays are just rolling right now and I think Toronto snags another one.
