Guardians vs Blue Jays Prediction
The Blue Jays continue to play respectable ball and are a team I’ve backed a lot over the last month or so. While a relief pitcher, Lauer is going deeper and deeper into games, and he’s allowed nine hits and three runs in his last 15.2 innings. Allen has been hittable with his 4.21 ERA and 1.48 WHIP, and he has a 4.18 ERA and .252 allowed batting average in 28 home innings. Allen has had issues keeping the ball in the park lately, and can struggle with control. Give me the Blue Jays on Tuesday night.
