Cleveland Guardians vs Toronto Blue Jays Prediction

I’m not running to the window to back a slumping Toronto Blue Jays team, but they’re due for a win eventually. While the Guardians have been moneymakers for MLB bettors, Triston McKenzie is back to his hit or miss ways and can’t be trusted in his current form. Yusei Kikuchi is easily the more trustworthy pitcher in this matchup. Pick ’em prices, I kind of like the Blue Jays to stop the bleeding and get a much-needed victory.
