Pick

I’m backing the over here. I’m leaning towards the Blue Jays, but as much as I love Alek Manoah, his current form makes it really hard to get behind him in a spot like this. On the other side, I’m not ready to buy into Julio Teheran after one start and I think this could be a bit of a high-scoring game. Give me the over.
