Guardians vs. Blue Jays Prediction
Noah Syndergaard starts for the Guardians against Yusei Kikuchi. Cleveland will try to avoid three straight losses as Toronto sits 2.5 games back from a wild card spot. Those circumstances add another layer to the game that will influence how we bet.

Cleveland Guardians DFS SPIN
Noah Syndergaard was acquired by Cleveland at the trade deadline. In five starts he has thrown a total of 27 innings and fifteen strikeouts. His season ERA is 6.42. Hopefully a new start and rhythm in Cleveland will continue to bring that down.
Toronto Blue Jays DFS SPIN
George Springer has had below career averages in batting average, OBP, and slugging percentage this year. He remains above average with total hits and stolen bases. Struggles in some areas while retooling in others speaks to the value and impact Springer can have on the game even at 33.

Guardians vs. Blue Jays MLB BETTING PREDICTION
These teams do not score a lot when they play each other. Contrasted with Syndergaard’s plus six ERA this season the total seems too high risk. The reliable bet here is chalk. Yusei Kikuchi has demonstrated an ability to secure wins this year. In a game where Toronto has the better lineup, adding a winning pitcher to the mix raises confidence.
