The Blue Jays and the cheap price is hard to pass up with the way they’ve played lately, but Manoah has been hittable these last couple of months. The Tampa Bay Rays continue to play consistent ball, they’re at home and Rasmussen has allowed just 11 hits and two runs in his last 14 innings. Toss up contest, but I have to give the Rays the edge at home.
