Blue Jays vs Rays Prediction

I’m on the Blue Jays in this one. I get the case to be made for the Rays, but the Blue Jays have found something offensively right now, they looked really good at sweeping the Mariners, and I trust Jose Berrios at home here. Shane Baz has had great numbers against Toronto, and almost all of Baz’s starts have come at home at Steinbrenner Field, where he’s had issues this season. However, I think that the Blue Jays break through and get a win here. Give me Toronto.
