Blue Jays vs Rangers Prediction 

Toronto is coming off of a great series win over a very good Cubs team and they will look to continue their dominance over the last few months here. The Blue Jays are 40-20 at home this season, while the Rangers are 24-35 on the road. Texas is trying to stay in the wild card race and they will start deGrom, who has allowed 3, 5, and 5 earned runs in his last three outings. The Jays are going with Bassitt, who has allowed 3, 1, 6, and 3 earned runs in his last four. I think we can see a little scoring in this game with both pitchers having some recent struggles, so take the over here.
