Tigers vs Blue Jays Prediction
I’m on the Blue Jays here. I know this feels like a Tigers spot with Tarik Skubal going, and Detroit needs Skubal to assume the role of stopper here. However, Toronto’s been able to break through in adverse situations in this series, and the difference for me here is that Toronto’s been able to get to Detroit’s bullpen a lot easier than the Tigers have gotten to Toronto’s. I think Gausman can keep the Blue Jays competitive, and I think the Jays can take it down late. Give me Toronto here.
