Blue Jays vs Guardians Prediction
The Guardians have had issues stringing wins together and the Jays are due for a bounce-back effort with the way these last two games have played out. Gausman has been solid through 28.1 innings, positing a 2.54 ERA and 0.95 WHIP. Easily a top-20 pitcher up to this point, and he’s been even better at home, where he has a 1.56 ERA and .131 allowed batting average through 17.1 innings. The price is more than reasonable. Give me the Blue Jays.
