Toronto Blue Jays vs Detroit Tigers Prediction
This line is strange. Yes, the Toronto Blue Jays are at home and Keider Montero hasn’t been good in a limited role with an ERA of 5.47. However, let’s not act like Kevin Gausman is lighting the world on fire, and he’s been absolutely rocked at home this season. Also, the Tigers have been the better team this season than the Blue Jays, and they have a chance to get to a .500 record with a chance to make things interesting down the stretch. We’re getting decent plus money in this spot. You can do worse than betting on the Tigers on Sunday.
