Blue Jays vs Brewers Prediction
Toronto has alternated wins and losses over their last six games and they will look to continue that trend with a win here. The Blue Jays are 44-23 at home this year, while the Brewers are 39-28 on the road. Milwaukee has pulled away in the NL Central standings and they are starting Priester, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in four of his last five starts. Toronto is starting Gausman, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in three of his last four. I like both of these pitchers and I am going with the under here.
