Cincinnati Reds vs. Toronto Blue Jays Prediction
I’m on the Reds in this one. I just think that Toronto’s struggled against lefties for the better part of the season and while Toronto would like to end the season on a high after a disappointment to the fans after coming two outs shy of winning a World Series last year, I just don’t see it. I think Scherzer gets hit to round out the year and Cincinnati gets the win to close out the season. Give me Cincinnati.
