In this Guardians vs Blue Jays Prediction, the Blue Jays are coming as -135 home favorites. Both teams have split wins in this series and the Jays have a surprising pitching advantage today with Patrick Corbin on the mound, who has back-to-back quality starts. Cecconi has been unstable to say the least for the Guardians, having 4+ earned runs in three of his five starts this season and has been terrible on the road with a 7.24 road ERA. Toronto has a slightly better bullpen ERA and is 4-2 in its last 6 games, so I expect them to get the job done at home today.
