My Prediction
Toronto Blue Jays by 2Ah, an age-old face-off, Tampa Bay Rays and Toronto Blue Jays. We're at the Rogers Centre, just a friendly reminder that lower scores in the park factor, my friend, result in pitchers popping that champagne.
Looking at the pitchers, Shane Baz will be carrying the hopes of the Rays on his not-so-brilliant 5.05 ERA, while the Blue Jays are resting easy with Jose Berrios sitting at a more comfortable 3.96 ERA. Remember, stats are for the regular season, kids. Love the numbers? You're welcome!
The Rays are coming forth with key players like Jonathan Aranda, who's boasting a .350 batting average, and Junior Caminero, who's also been showing some impressive hustle with 6 home runs. On the other side, the Blue Jays are flaunting the likes of Ernie Clement, batting all Cinderella-like at .338, and the mighty Vladimir Guerrero Jr. with four home runs under his belt.
Peeking at the recent history, we notice that the Rays have been leading the dance in terms of past skirmishes with the Blue Jays. But this isn't a 19th-century ball, ladies and gents...this is baseball! The Blue Jays seem to have found their mojo with a decent streak in their recent games, while the Rays... well... let's say they've seen sunnier days.
Weighing the odds, checking the recent form, and respecting the season's tally, it seems the Blue Jays have gained a slight edge over their rivals from Tampa Bay.
Pouring all that data into the old prediction machine, we come out with this:
Albert’s Prediction: Toronto Blue Jays by 2.
