Toronto Blue Jays vs. San Diego Padres Prediction

I’m backing the Blue Jays here. I’m not ready to give up on Shane Bieber as I think he’s a better starting pitcher than what he’s shown in some of his recent starts since returning from injury. JP Sears has been more than hittable and the Padres just aren’t playing great baseball as a whole right now. I’ll side with Toronto in this one.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Toronto -105
