The Rays are 24-7 in their last 31 games. Tampa Bay is 8-3 in its last 11 road games.

Toronto

The Blue Jays are 6-2 in their last eight games. The under is 8-3 in the last 11 meetings.

Prediction:

Snell is having one of the best seasons of any pitchers in baseball this season and is a serious AL Cy Young candidate. He should be able to mow down Toronto and give way to a bullpen that has done the job all season. Expect him to receive the necessary run support to send the visitors to a win.
