Blue Jays vs Rays Prediction 

Toronto was able to keep pace with the Yankees in the AL East with their win on Friday night, but they have no room for error if they want to win the division. The Blue Jays are 52-27 at home this season, while the Rays are 36-43 on the road. Tampa Bay is starting Boyle, who has been inconsistent, but has allowed just one earned run in his last 10.1 innings. Toronto is going with Yesavage, who has allowed five earned runs and eight hits in 9.0 innings over two starts. I am not a big Joe Boyle fan, which burned me in his last start, so I am backing Toronto to get the win here.
