Tigers vs Blue Jays Prediction

The Blue Jays are 5-3 in their last 8 meetings against the Tigers but have lost their last two meetings in Toronto.

In this Tigers vs Blue Jays Prediction, the Blue Jays are coming as -135 home favorites. I like the Jays in a bounce-back spot at home today, even though they are going for a bullpen game. Drew Anderson has been terrible on the road with a 1-5 record and 4.63 ERA and the Tigers have a weaker bullpen than the Jays and are 2-10 in their last 12 games on the road. Take the Blue Jays to win this one at home.
