Rangers vs Blue Jays Prediction
You can make a case for the Blue Jays and the plus money, as Gausman has been solid this season with a 4.03 ERA and 0.98 WHIP, and he has a 3.38 ERA in his last 24 innings. The concern is that the Blue Jays have scored a combined two runs in their last three games, and now they’re going up against deGrom. In his last 25 innings, deGrom has allowed 16 hits and five runs. deGrom has allowed five runs in his last 31 innings. In 36.2 home innings, deGrom has a 1.47 ERA and a .191 allowed batting average. The price isn’t anything crazy. Give me the Rangers.
