Toronto Blue Jays vs Cincinnati Reds Prediction
Littell has been solid this season and has been even better at home, so you can make a case for the Reds. The problem is the Reds haven’t been able to string together much in terms of wins, and they’re hard to trust against good teams. Bieber has just 11.1 innings under his belt this season, but he’s been sharp in those frames, allowing just three runs, and we know what he’s capable of when he’s right. We’re talking about a CY Young winner and two-time all-star. The Jays have been kind to us for months now. Give me the Blue Jays.
