Twins vs. Blue Jays Prediction and Odds
Toronto is going to lean on Kevin Gausman in this one. The Twins are in the middle of the pack in terms of strikeouts per game, but Gausman has the stuff to get them swinging and missing.
This year, Gausman has an ERA just above 2.50, is top 10 in strikeouts and has a top 15 record. He’s going to set the tone for the Jays and lead them to another win.
Another reason why I’m fading Minnesota is because of their inconsistency. They have sprinkled in a few blowout wins in between bad losses over the last two weeks. I think Gausman puts enough pressure on the Twins and exposes them for being in the rut they’re currently in.
Lean: Jays -1.5 (+105)
