Toronto Blue Jays -1.5 over Tampa Bay Rays (+125)
Tampa just took 3 of 4 games against Boston to push their record over .500, but have very much struggled for consistency. Jose Caballero ranks 2nd in the league in steals while Randy Arozarena is hitting just .159. What has really been harming Tampa though has been their pitching, which ranks in the bottom 3rd in MLB. That could be perfect for the Blue Jays’ offense, which has plenty of potential. Toronto prefers hitting against lefties and we should see them flourish. On the mound for the Blue Jays will be Chris Bassitt, who has a good break since his last start due to off days and rainouts. In addition, the bullpen should be fully rested and ready to go. All things considered, Toronto should have too much for Tampa and can win by multiple runs.
