Toronto Blue Jays vs Minnesota Twins Prediction
I considered the Blue Jays and the plus money because they’ve lost one game since May 28. The problem is Francis has been a mess with a 5.84 ERA and 1.47 WHIP, and he just allowed six earned runs in 1.2 innings against the Phillies. While Francis has been better on the road, it’s hard to get behind him in his current form. Ryan looks like an all-star with a 2.91 ERA and 0.90 WHIP, and he has a 2.89 ERA and .173 allowed batting average in 28 home innings. The Twins have a head-and-shoulders edge on the mound. Give me the Twins, and I’ll lay the RL to shave down the juice.
