Toronto Blue Jays vs Milwaukee Brewers Prediction

I’m on the Blue Jays here. Not my favorite game on the board, but the one thing about Rodriguez in the minors this season was that he struggled with control, issuing over 4 walks per 9 innings, and the Blue Jays have been a lot more disciplined as of late so I think they can generate baserunners here. Kikuchi’s been solid, he just doesn’t get the run support he needs a lot of the time and I think he does here and the Jays do enough to even the set up at one win apiece. Give me Toronto.
