Pick

I’m backing the Blue Jays -1.5 here. The Blue Jays are just the better team here and outside of the pair of wins for the Tigers over Houston earlier this season there really hasn’t been much for Detroit to be excited about so far. Toronto had an up and down series against the Angels, but the offense has been there for the most part for Toronto and I think they deliver a big performance here. Give me the Jays -1.5 here.
