Pick

I’m backing the Blue Jays here. I just don’t know if I can bank on Blanco to hang around with Bassitt and match zeroes for an entire game and Bassitt’s already shown he can hold down the Astros earlier this season. Granted, the Astros have gotten a lot better since then, but the Blue Jays have as well and I look for them to get another win here.
