Toronto Blue Jays vs Tampa Bay Rays Prediction: The Blue Jays will keep things rolling

On Saturday, game 2 of a Major League Baseball series will take place at Rogers Centre between the Tampa Bay Rays and the Toronto Blue Jays.

The Toronto Blue Jays are looking to extend their winning streak to seven games after winning six of their previous ten contests. The Toronto Blue Jays are currently in second place in the hunt for a wild card spot in the American League. The pitching staff of the Toronto Blue Jays is ranked second in earned run average (3.73), seventh in walks allowed per nine innings (1.24), and fifth in quality starts (70). The offensive production of the Toronto Blue Jays ranks 15th in terms of runs per game (4.58), eighth in terms of batting average (.256), and 16th in terms of home runs (186). The Toronto Blue Jays are led in hits and runs batted in by Bo Bichette, who has 173 and 72, respectively, while Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and George Springer have combined for 315 hits and 165 RBI. The next pitcher is Hyun Jin Ryu, who has a record of 3-3 on the season with a 3.31 earned run average and 37 strikeouts. In his career against the Tampa Bay Rays, Ryu has a perfect batting average, a strikeout total of 27, and an earned run average of 3.72.

After a split of their previous 10 games, the Tampa Bay Rays are looking to get back on track. The Tampa Bay Rays have ensured themselves a position in the top wild card spot in the American League. The pitching staff for the Tampa Bay Rays is ranked sixth in earned run average (3.87), first in walks allowed per nine innings (1.17), and 21st in quality starts (49). The offensive production of the Tampa Bay Rays ranks fourth in terms of runs per game (5.26), fifth in terms of batting average (.258), and fifth in terms of home runs (226). The Rays are led in hits and runs batted in by Yandy Diaz, who has 173 and 78, respectively. Randy Arozarena and Josh Lowe have combined for 272 hits and 164 RBI. Zack Littell is going to pitch, and so far this season he has a record of 3-6, an earned run average of 3.86, and 73 strikeouts. In his career against the Toronto Blue Jays, Littell had a perfect 0-0 record, a 3.00 earned run average, and 6 strikeouts.

Zack Littell has had a very up-and-down season so far, and the Tampa Bay Rays don't have much to play for because they are all but assured of a wild card position, and Zack Littell's performance has been inconsistent through 51 innings of the season. Since his return to the rotation, Hyun Jin Ryu has been quite effective for the Toronto Blue Jays, as seen by his 3.31 ERA and 1.22 WHIP through 49 innings pitched. The Blue Jays are still on the hunt for a postseason berth. The Toronto Blue Jays are currently in a position where they have more to play for at home and have more to gain overall. My money's on the Blue Jays to come out on top and keep their winning streak alive.
