Pick

I’m backing Toronto here. The Twins took advantage of another poor showing from Toronto’s bullpen, but I don’t know if the good vibes will roll through for another day. The Twins strike out a ton against righties, and are now up against the AL’s strikeout leader in Kevin Gausman. On the other side, the Blue Jays are playing some solid ball right now and I just don’t like Minnesota’s chances in this matchup if I’m being honest. Give me the Blue Jays here.
