Toronto Blue Jays vs St. Louis Cardinals Prediction

The Toronto Blue Jays are coming off a nice walkoff win last night, and that should have a carry-over effect on a quick turnaround. Also, while Kyle Gibson has been reasonable this season for the most part, Jose Berrios is an all star caliber pitcher who has been sharper, especially at home where he has a 2.81 ERA. We’re laying a cheap price with the Blue Jays at home and with the better pitcher on the hill. Give me the Blue Jays.
