Toronto Blue Jays Analysis
The Toronto Blue Jays made some modest changes to their roster this offseason to keep the nucleus intact for another run at the AL East Division title. However, the team's slow start has led to rumors of potential trades of major stars by the deadline. In game one of the recent series, the Blue Jays offense struggled in a 3-1 loss. Right-handed pitcher Bowdon Francis will take the mound on Saturday in place of the injured Alek Manoah. Despite some key injuries, including to SP Yariel Rodriguez and SP Alek Manoah, the Blue Jays have a power ranking of 9 and are currently ranked #25 in offense and #18 in defense. Toronto has an overall record of 33-36 and will face Cleveland, who has recently won 1 out of their last 3 matchups against the Blue Jays.
Guardians Favored in Pitching Matchup Against Blue Jays
In this upcoming match, I am inclined to favor the Guardians due to what appears to be a balanced pitching matchup. Cleveland's Carrasco has struggled this season with an ERA exceeding 5.00 and a high number of hits surrendered. Meanwhile, Blue Jays' starter Francis has only made a few appearances this season, showing vulnerability to hits and home runs. As the game progresses, it is likely to become a battle of bullpens, placing the Guardians in a more advantageous position. Carrasco has demonstrated the ability to keep the game competitive into the later innings, which should hold true in this matchup. Despite a relatively low team batting average, the Guardians have shown power with 73 home runs collectively. With these factors in mind, I recommend taking the Guardians to win with the money line.
