Texas Rangers vs. Toronto Blue Jays Prediction

I’m leaning towards Toronto here. I get that Texas is in the mix as well and have their ace on the mound in deGrom in this start. However, the Texas Rangers have been a big time under team this season because of a lack of consistent offense, and Toronto has really been finding a groove with a lot of their recent form. Bassitt’s been at his best at home, and deGrom can pitch as well as he wants but his offense has to back him up and I don’t know if they do here. Give me Toronto in this one.
