Toronto Blue Jays vs Atlanta Braves Prediction
The Blue Jays are having a rough week where the pitching is getting rocked, and this isn’t an ideal spot for things to turn around. Even at 37 years old, Sale is an all-star who has a 2.01 ERA and 0.94 WHIP on the season. Sale has allowed 23 hits and 6 earned runs in his last 32 innings. In 30 home innings, Sale has a 0.60 ERA and a .171 batting average allowed. I’m not stepping in front of that. Give me the Braves and the RL for max betting value.
