Rays vs Blue Jays Prediction
The Rays have won their last four meetings against the Jays but they are 1-3 in their last three visits in Toronto.
In this Rays vs Blue Jays Prediction, the Rays are coming as -125 road favorites. The Jay lost yesterday with Gausman on the mound and are now just +105 underdogs when Patrick Corbin faces Shane McClanahan? This like makes no sense, since all the value is with the Rays in this one. Shane McClanahan is coming off three straight shutouts and the Rays have both a better offense, a better bullpen and have been in excellent form lately. Take the Rays on the moneyline in a very nice price.
