Detroit Tigers vs Toronto Blue Jays Prediction

I’ll probably just stay with the Jays. Berrios had a bad start back on May 7 versus the Phillies, taking a loss with 3.2 innings and eight earned runs. He’s been better since then, though. In his last two starts combined, Berrios is 1-0 with five earned in 13.0 innings on 11 hits and three walks total.

In the Friday Game the Blue Jays got a pretty good outing from the bullpen overall (3.1 innings; no earned; two hits; two walks; two Ks) after Manoah’s sketchy finish. The offense couldn’t do anything with the 10 team hits, though. I like Toronto to come back with a better effort on Saturday.
