Tampa Bay Rays vs Toronto Blue Jays Game 2 Predictions 7/2/2022

As they captured the first game of this series on Thursday night, Toronto became the third team in four matches to triumph. The Blue Jays were 12.5 games down of the Yankees in the AL East heading into Friday, tied for second place.

For the top two American League wild-card berths, they are tied with Boston. Teoscar Hernandez (run, two RBI) got three hits on Thursday, while Santiago Espinal (run, two RBI) added two more.

Castillo takes on the Rays for the first time in the third start of his career and first start in the major league. His lone outing at Rogers Centre happened on June 19 against the Yankees in Toronto’s 10-9 win. He gave up two runs on two hits, no walks, and one strikeout in an inning of work.

Prior to getting called up, Castillo had two trips to the minors, pitching for Double-A New Hampshire of the Eastern League in six appearances. He went 3-1 with a 3.10 ERA, a 1.207 WHIP, 14 walks, and 35 strikeouts over 29 innings.

Tampa Bay Rays vs Toronto Blue Jays. The MLB pick for this game is the Toronto Blue Jays. As the All-Star break approaches, this is a matchup between teams going in opposing directions.

The Rays had trouble putting wins in the victory column in large part because of their struggles at the plate. Should Rasmussen be able to pitch here, he’ll probably be limited in how many pitches he throws because he’s still healing from a hamstring issue.

Castillo’s previous start saw Toronto utilize his bullpen well, and the Blue Jays have a history of producing offensively skewed results. Particularly when competing at home, the Blue Jays are a dangerous squad.

It was difficult for Tampa Bay’s hitters to keep up, and it is currently impossible to slow Toronto down. In this game, give the Blue Jays the advantage. The Toronto Blue Jays will win to a predicted score of 7-2.
