My Prediction
Toronto Blue Jays by 2Here we are looking at a juicy matchup between the San Francisco Giants and the Toronto Blue Jays in the Rogers Centre, a place where pitchers breathe a sigh of relief.
The Giants are sending their guy, Logan Webb to the mound, touting a pretty impressive 2.96 ERA and 1.18 WHIP with a zest for strikeouts. Another fellow not to be trifled with on the mound is the Blue Jays' own, Eric Lauer, who is holding down a 2.89 ERA and a 1.08 WHIP. Makes you fear the cricket chirping sound of empty leather, right?
Gazing at the Giants, they've got some hot hands. Look no further than Casey Schmitt and his smooth/right down the middle .292 average. Then there's Willy Adames with 4 home runs, stirring memories of Babe Ruth while possessing more hair. Rounding out this dapper trio is Heliot Ramos with his 3 home runs and 11 RBIs.
On the Blue Jays side, we've got George Springer. He's batting .345 with 22 RBIs and 6 home runs. Toss in Bo Bichette and Addison Barger, both knocking in runs and hoarding homers, and it's one tight little bird sanctuary.
Here's a little bedtime story for you: In their past 5 meetings, San Francisco claimed one victory, while Toronto was dancing the victory samba four times. Regular season, you ask? Blue Jays are swooping in at 56-41, while the Giants might be feeling a bit down at 52-46.
Recent results? The Giants have left the winner's column somewhat empty lately, while the Blue Jays are showing mixed messages with their win and lose streaks.
After ironing out all these facts and figures, it's time for prediction business. Albert, hand me that envelope please...
