Blue Jays vs Rays Predictions and Picks
"Toronto's momentum makes them a strong play in Game 2, especially after [yesterday's] 2–1 extra-inning win extended their streak to five. The Blue Jays have outscored opponents 58–30 over their last ten games and continue to deliver in tight spots .... Jose Berríos gets the start and has held Tampa to a .190 batting average across two outings this season. With a rested bullpen and a lineup that ranks top five in OBP and slugging, Toronto has the edge in both form and matchup." — David Hess, Winners and Whiners
"Toronto continues to stack wins, and they are trying to extend their winning streak to seven games here. The Blue Jays are 39-37 on the road this year, while the Rays are 38-38 at home. Tampa Bay has lost six of their last seven, and they are starting Seymour, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in four straight outings. Toronto is going with Gausman, who has given up a total of two earned runs in his last 24.0 innings. Take the Blue Jays once again here." — David Racey, PickDawgz
"Toronto holds the advantage in this matchup with Gausman's consistency on the mound and a better batting order. Seymour has shown ability in limited innings, but the Blue Jays' lineup is more complete, and the pitching staff has been steadier in recent weeks. Toronto is the safer bet. Final Score Prediction: Toronto Blue Jays win 4-2." — David Anicetti, Picks and Parlays
