Blue Jays vs Dodgers Prediction
The Dodgers are going to be favored in damn near every game this season and at some point will turn into a losing team profit-wise with all of this juice day after day. The Jays are at home in a revenge series after having the Dodgers beat them in the World Series and blowing it last second. The jury is still out on the young Wrobleski, and he wasn’t great in his season debut. Scherzer isn’t the pitcher he was in past years, but he can still get up in big spots and give his team a chance. He’s had success against the Dodgers. While the season is still young, this series should mean a little more to Toronto. I’ll take the plus money.
