Miami Marlins vs Toronto Blue Jays Prediction
I’ll lean toward the Jays. Probably not touching it, though. Rodriguez took a loss in his last outing versus the Rays, posting three earned in 4.0 innings. In his two previous games however, Rodriguez notched just two earned over 9.1 innings total.
On Friday the Blue Jays were down 9-4 by the end of the fourth, then gave up five more runs in the seventh inning. Toronto gave up 14 earned runs by the end of the seventh in a rough pitching outing. I like the Jays to bounce back Saturday, but I’m not going near it.
