Why The Blue Jays Will Cover The Spread/Win
The Blue Jays are having a down year when they came in with lofty expectations this season. They were coming off back-to-back one-run losses against the Tampa Bay Rays coming into their series finale on Sunday afternoon. Luckily for them they were able to end the series on a high note when Blue Jays' starting pitcher Alek Manoah pitched a gem holding the Rays to just 1 run through 7 innings while striking out 7.

The Blue Jays also had one of the better performances at the plate scoring 9 runs on 12 hits with 2 of those hits being home runs. Now, the Blue Jays will send Chris Bassitt (3-6, 5.03 ERA) to the mound to battle it out with Mike Clevinger.
Bassitt has had an up-and-down season so far where he has losses in four out of his last five games. He has been solid over his last two games however giving up 5 runs on 8 hits with 11 strikeouts in 14 innings. He presents a good matchup on Wednesday night taking on the White Sox who he's had some success against in the past. Andrew Vaughn, Paul Dejong, and Corey Julks are a combined 2-15 as they struggle against Bassitt. It's up to Bassitt to continue his streak of quality pitching while the Blue Jays bats keep hot to continue their surge in the AL East.
