Randy’s Pick

The Toronto Blue Jays offense is going to wake up at some point, and these are two struggling pitchers where you'd expect the offense to pick up. Grayson Rodriguez has a 6.57 ERA and 1.73 WHIP, while Alek Manoah has been disappointing with his 5.40 ERA and 1.80 WHIP. I expect some fireworks in this contest. Give me the over.
