Toronto Blue Jays vs Arizona Diamondbacks Prediction
You can make a case for the Blue Jays with Gausman on the mound. He’s been sharp through 22.1 innings, which includes a 0.85 WHIP. However, it doesn’t matter if the Blue Jays continue to come up small offensively. I need to see the Blue Jays put up some offense before I can back them confidently. The Diamondbacks are having a solid week and Nelson hasn’t been bad through 20.1 innings. I’ll gladly take the Diamondbacks at home and the pick ’em price. The Jays are in rough shape right now and I’d need more bang for my buck to get behind them.
