Houston Astros vs. Toronto Blue Jays Prediction
I’m on the Blue Jays here. I know Hunter Brown has looked solid in his limited action so far this season, but the Blue Jays have started to pick up their play once again and I think Toronto can get to Brown here. It’ll be interesting to see who Toronto throws out, as this was supposed to be the return of Shane Bieber but with Sunday’s postponement we could see Dylan Cease. Either way I think Toronto gets the better of the opener and gets the win here.
