Blue Jays vs Guardians Prediction
The Blue Jays are heading in the wrong direction, with losses in nine of their last 13 games. Francis doesn’t provide much hope for a turnaround after allowing 30 hits and 16 earned runs in his last 24.2 innings. However, Bibee was just as bad in the month of April, allowing 27 hits and 16 runs in 27.1 innings. In 15.1 road innings this season, Bibee has a 7.63 ERA and .271 allowed batting average. In 15 home innings, Francis has a 6.00 ERA and .263 allowed batting average. This feels like a high scoring game with the numbers the pitchers are throwing out there. Give me the over on Sunday between the Guardians and Blue Jays.
