Blue Jays vs Guardians Prediction

The Guardians and Blue Jays have caught fire this week and enter this series hot. Allen has been shaky at times this season and is coming off a game against the Red Sox where he allowed nine hits and seven runs in 4.1 innings. Allen has also had a control issue this season, which comes with 13 walks in 25.2 innings. Bassitt has allowed a combined 13 hits and eight runs in his last 11 innings. This feels like it could be a high-scoring game. I’m going to side with the over on Friday between the Guardians and Blue Jays.
