Tampa Bay Rays vs Toronto Blue Jays Predictions 4/14/2023

Toronto’s season got off to a sluggish start when it dropped three of its first four games, but things picked up since then. Before Thursday night’s series finale against Detroit, the Blue Jays won seven of their previous eight matches.

This article was written before that game. Before sweeping the first two games of their series against Detroit, they won two of the three games they played against the Angels the previous weekend.

The Blue Jays had the highest batting average in the league (.289), despite the Rays being the best team in the majors this season.

With 23 hits, 15 RBI, and a batting average of.489, third baseman Matt Chapman leads the Toronto Blue Jays. Vladimir Guerrero is hitting.417 with six RBI.

On Friday night, Toronto will get the ball with a start from right-handed pitcher Jose Berrios. In his first start against Kansas City, he surrendered eight earned runs on nine hits over 5.2 innings.

In his second start, he surrendered four earned runs on six hits over 4.0 innings against the Angels.

The Toronto Blue Jays are 7-2 SU in their last 9 matches.
The total went OVER in 4 of Toronto’s last 5 matches against Tampa Bay.
The total went OVER in 6 of Toronto’s last 9 matches at home.

Tampa Bay Rays vs Toronto Blue Jays. The MLB pick for this game is the Tampa Bay Rays.

It is nearly impossible to choose against Tampa Bay in a game with tossup odds, particularly given the Rays’ desire to open the season with the most victories in franchise history.

This opening pitching matchup favors them as well, so this line is not very rational. Rasmussen failed to surrender a run thus far this season, but Berrios is struggling after a lackluster 2022 season.

The Tampa Bay Rays will win to a predicted score of 6-3.
