Toronto Blue Jays vs Tampa Bay Rays Prediction
The Rays are rolling this week, and it makes them hard to ignore with the quick turnaround. I’ll still give the edge to the Blue Jays with Bassitt on the mound, a pitcher who has allowed 26 hits and eight earned runs in his last 23 innings. The Blue Jays have won each of his last four starts. Pepiot is having a decent season and has been better lately, allowing nine runs in his last 22.1 innings. However, the Rays have lost seven of the last nine games Pepiot has pitched. Pepiot has also been hittable at home, where he has a 4.28 ERA and .271 allowed batting average in 40 innings. The Blue Jays have burned me recently, but I’ll give them another chance on Sunday.
