Blue Jays vs Braves Prediction

I’m looking at the Braves here. I get the case to be made for Toronto, given that the Braves still have dug themselves into a pretty big hole to start the year and have struggled with consistency since then. However, the Braves have the edge in starting pitching in my opinion, and I think that teams are starting to figure out Gausman’s signature splitter. The strikeouts just have not been there for Gausman in a lot of his recent outings. I think that the Blue Jays will find something in the finale on Wednesday, but I think Schwellenbach will get the better of Toronto here. Give me the Braves in this one.
