Blue Jays vs Rockies Prediction
The Blue Jays won six of the previous ten H2H encounters, including the last four. Although the opening two games of this series went Over, I am going with Under in this one. Kyle Freeland allowed more than three runs only twice in his last nine starts, and he can contain the Blue Jays to two or three runs in the first five or six innings. Kevin Gausman, on the other hand, was excellent in July, posting a 2.51 ERA, and even though he wasn’t good enough in his first August start, allowing five runs against the Royals, Gausman should do fine here. Go with Under.
