Dodgers vs Blue Jays Prediction

I’m backing the over in this one. It’ll be interesting to see who the Blue Jays roll with here as I initially thought it was going to be Chris Bassitt and Bassitt’s been brutal on the road this season. That being said, Snell has been a slow starter when he joins the team late, just overall or after an injury. I think that the Jays can get to him here as Snell is strikeout dependent, and the Jays just don’t strike out, at all. Give me the over here.
