Toronto Blue Jays at Detroit Tigers Prediction

Heading into Saturday’s American League matchup between Toronto and Detroit, the Blue Jays are the heavy favorite on the moneyline. Even though Kevin Kevin Gausman is coming off two mediocre starts, he has been outstanding in 2022. Even if Gausmann struggles yet again, I expect Toronto’s offense to jump all over Beau Brieske for the Tigers. I like the Blue Jays to cover the runline.
