Despite a strong offensive performance with eight hits, Toronto fell behind early and couldn't recover. Key players like Bo Bichette and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. contributed with multiple hits and home runs, but Kevin Gausman took the loss on the mound. Looking ahead, Eric Lauer is expected to start and has a solid 2.00 ERA this season. The Blue Jays currently have a power ranking of 23 and are ranked 22nd for offense and 23rd for defense.

Detroit Tigers Poised for Victory Against Toronto Blue Jays in Friday's Opener

The Detroit Tigers are currently in a strong position, with the best record in the American League and a series of wins under their belt as they head into Friday's opener. Despite a recent loss to Texas, pitcher Olson has been performing well. On the other hand, the Toronto Blue Jays have been struggling to maintain consistent offensive production this season. It is yet to be determined whether Lauer or Jose Urena will be on the mound, with Urena coming off a relief appearance against Tampa Bay on Thursday. The Blue Jays are in need of improved offensive output and reliable starting pitching. However, facing off against the Tigers, a team with momentum and a talented roster, may prove to be a challenging task. Therefore, it is recommended to place your bet on Detroit for this away game.
