In this Rays vs Blue Jays Prediction, the Blue Jays are coming as -160 home favorites. The Jays have lost both games in this series but have the pitching advantage today with Dylan Cease on the mound, who goes up against Griffin Jax. Cease has been excellent this season and coming off a shutout start, while Jax has been bad with a 5.00 ERA and 1.44 WHIP. I like the Jays in a bounce-back spot at home after a narrow loss yesterday, so take them on the moneyline in a reasonable price.
