Blue Jays vs Diamondbacks Prediction
The Diamondbacks have won their last three meetings against the Jays and are 4-1 in their last 5 meetings in Arizona.
In this Blue Jays vs Diamondbacks Prediction, both teams are coming at a pickem price. The Dbacks have won both games in this series having scored 6 runs in each and are 8-2 in their last 10 games. On the flip side, the Jays are having a terrible season so far and have been very bad on the road, with just one win in 8 road games. Gausman has 5 earned runs in his last two starts and was torched by Arizona last season, while Nelson has two earned runs in his last two starts and the Dbacks have both a better offense and a better bullpen, so I expect them to keep rolling and win this one as well.
