Two teams that haven’t played up to expectations will face off this Friday night when the Cleveland Guardians visit the Toronto Blue Jays, who will be looking to continue taking advantage of their home-field advantage.

Cleveland Guardians vs Toronto Blue Jays: Blue Jays Moneyline

Although they have a winning record, the Guardians haven’t shown the dominance expected of them in the AL Central, mainly due to an offense that has struggled to produce runs, averaging 3.80 runs per game. The Blue Jays have been just as poor on offense, averaging 3.47 runs scored. For this game, the Blue Jays will have Chris Bassitt on the mound, who allowed 4 runs in his last two starts, but has had a great season with an ERA of 2.62, and against a vulnerable team like the Guardians, he can recover and support his weak offense to take the win at home, where they have a 9-6 record.

Injuries for Cleveland Guardians:

P. Sewald Out.

Injuries for Toronto Blue Jays:

M. Scherzer Out.

A. Manoah Out

Cleveland Guardians vs Toronto Blue Jays: Under 8.5

This game features two of the worst offenses in MLB, so it’s a good opportunity for Bassitt, who’s been a bit unlucky recently, to have a better outing, as well as Logan Allen, who allowed 7 runs in his previous start, but previously had allowed only two runs in 16.0 innings. Considering all of that, the best option is to expect a low-scoring game.

Cleveland Guardians vs Toronto Blue Jays Prediction

Considering the offensive struggles both teams have had, we expect this game to be a nice, tight pitching duel, resulting in a low-scoring game with the Blue Jays taking the win thanks to the support of their fans.
