Chris’ Pick

I’m going with the Blue Jays here. We’re almost at do or die time for the Blue Jays, and I’ve always thought Jordan Montgomery’s a bit overhyped, and the trade to the Rangers doesn’t change my stance on that. Toronto’s a better team than what they’ve shown so far in this series, and I think we see a response from Toronto in this one. Give me the Blue Jays here.
