Toronto Blue Jays vs Milwaukee Brewers Prediction
I’ll stay with the Blue Jays. Bassitt should be okay here. In his last three starts combined Bassitt is 2-0 with four earned runs in 18.0 total innings on 17 hits and three walks. As for Myers, he’s given up six earned over his last 16.1 innings, but five of those came in one start (a no-decision versus the White Sox).
On Tuesday the Blue Jays got a nice bullpen outing on 4.0 innings, two hits, one walk and six strikeouts. The offense was solid as well; seven different players had at least one hit. I like Toronto to keep it up on Wednesday.
