Blue Jays vs Padres Prediction
The Blue Jays are getting love at home with Gausman on the mound, but he’s allowed 17 hits and nine runs in his last 11 innings. Gausman has allowed 19 runs in his last 19.2 innings. Vasquez has been more reliable this season, and that includes giving up 16 hits and four runs in his last 17 innings. The Padres are 3-0 with Vasquez on the mound this month. Also, it’s only a matter of time before the Padres wake up offensively, as this lineup is too talented to score just three runs in their last four games. The market is starting to shift on the Padres. I’ll take a shot with them in a bounce-back spot.
