Blue Jays vs Twins Prediction
The Twins continue to pile up the losses, and they’re just not a team I’m excited to back. Ober has an ERA over 5 on the season, and he has a 5.89 ERA and .310 allowed batting average in 47.1 road innings. No, thanks. The Blue Jays keep winning games and are closing in on an AL East crown. In 82.1 home innings, Bassitt has a 2.73 ERA and .244 allowed batting average. Two teams heading in different directions. Give me the Blue Jays, and I’ll take the RL to shave down the price.
