Tigers vs Blue Jays Prediction

The Blue Jays are 5-2 in their last 7 meetings against the Tigers but have lost two of their their last three meetings in Toronto.

In this Tigers vs Blue Jays Prediction, the Blue Jays are coming as -130 home favorites. I don’t trust either pitcher in this matchup as both have been in bad form lately. Melton has been in his worst stretch of the season, having given up 3, 3, 5 and 4 runs in his last four starts and Soriano has given up 3+ runs in four of his last five starts. Both offenses have been red-hot, averaging 10.7 runs in their last 10 games combined and because both bullpens have been excellent lately, I will go over 4 in the F5 innings.
