Toronto Blue Jays vs Cleveland Guardians Prediction
The Guardians are going to get the nod at home with Williams on the mound, as he has a 3.98 ERA and 1.12 WHIP this season. However, the value is with the Blue Jays and a chance to make 1.5 times your money. The Blue Jays have caught fire over the last couple of weeks and are trying to sneak into the playoffs. Arrighetti hasn’t been good since coming over from Houston, but who cares. The Blue Jays are winning games and putting up crooked numbers. Give me the road dog.
