Blue Jays vs Padres Prediction
I’m on the Padres in this one. I get the case to be made for the Blue Jays at home, but they didn’t look great against Detroit’s right-handers at home this past weekend. Dylan Cease has gotten back into the form of the Dylan Cease that we’ve come to expect in years past, who contended for Cy Young awards perennially. To me, this feels like a Padres spot, so give me San Diego behind another strong start from Cease.
