Toronto Blue Jays vs Miami Marlins Prediction 

Miami comes into this game sitting at 100 losses for the season, but they have played well over the last 10 days and will look to end their season with a sweep of the Blue Jays. The Marlins are 31-49 on the road this year, while the Blue Jays are 39-41 at home. Toronto has finished the season playing very poorly and with us not knowing what pitcher they are going to start, I am going to side with Miami.
