Houston Astros vs. Toronto Blue Jays Prediction
I’m on the Blue Jays here. I think Toronto’s just the team in better form right now, and while Lambert’s been a solid option for the Astros this season I still think he’s a lower-end option overall in baseball this season. Shane Bieber’s rehab starts were up and down but even if it’s a short outing here, I think Toronto’s bullpen can do enough to hold down the fort and end up with the win in this one. Give me Toronto.
