Houston Astros vs. Toronto Blue Jays Prediction
I’m on the Blue Jays here. I get the case to be made for either side in this game, but I think Toronto has more to lose in this series, and the Astros haven’t necessarily been in the best form coming into this series. The Blue Jays are usually one of the better home teams in baseball this season and I think Toronto draws first blood here. Give me the Blue Jays in this one.
