A couple of doubleheaders are on the Saturday schedule in MLB, including the Blue Jays and Rays. In Game 1, the Rays ended a four-game skid. A glaring problem for Tampa Bay has been its play on the road the past three weeks, and that has applied to pitcher Drew Rasmussen, as well. His last two road starts, he has given up multiple home runs and has had short outings. Take the Blue Jays.
I find it hard to believe the Blue Jays get swept at home here. They faced Shane McClanahan in Game 1 and he has been dominating absolutely everybody. But the Blue Jays also lost Kevin Gausman early to an injury. They will have Thomas Hatch starting the nightcap and he might not go too deep, but the Blue Jays have their whole bullpen available. Drew Rasmussen is coming off the IL so he shouldn’t be able to go too deep either. Teams who lose the first game of the doubleheader win the second game about 70% of the time regardless of the line, take the Blue Jays in Game 2.
