Rockies vs Blue Jays prediction

I have a rule about not backing pitchers making their MLB debut, as you don’t know what to expect. I need a sample size. So, no matter what you think of Yariel Rodriguez, nobody knows what he’s going to look like in the big leagues. With that said, the Rockies are awful and backing them is even more difficult. The Rockies have little to nothing positive up to this point. Give me the Blue Jays and the RL for max betting value.
