We played this at Caesars for +140 on the alt line when the straight line was at 5.5 K's earlier this morning on Early Edge. Gausman struck out six batters in his last start, with only nine outs recorded before he was forced to leave the game after laboring through the 3rd inning. Now up against a Tampa Bay team that's seen the strikeout rate vs righties start to rise of late, I'll give Gausman a second chance here at home again.
The Jays are not good at home (9-10) or vs above .500 teams (13-18) and they are on the brink of another in-season manager firing. Only so many meetings you can call when you never win as many games as you think you will. Lot of pressure on a group that has always cracked under pressure. Rays finding ways to win again (10 of 14), Eflin will battle and Gausman is sporting an ERA around 5. I don't buy the Jays bats. Riding Rays ML again. I smell a sweep
Toronto Ace Kevin Gausman has gotten off to a rocky start this season however I believe it can be largely attributed to the 2x All-Star finding his form versus Gausman being on the decline. Prior to his last outing against the Twins where he got lit up, Gausman had put together four consecutive excellent starts, allowing just two ER. This is a buy low spot as this line is often set at 18.5 outs. I consider TB more of a neutral matchup.
