Houston Astros vs. Toronto Blue Jays Prediction
I’m on the Blue Jays here. I know Houston found a way to pull it out of the fire late against Toronto on Wednesday, but I still think that Toronto is the better team at the end of the day and Javier scontinues to have issues with control on the mound. Gausman’s been up and down at times, but he’s been known to pitch a lot better at home and I think he gets it done here. Give me the Blue Jays.
