The Blue Jays had to lose sometime, which came yesterday in Detroit but not after winning the first three games of the four-game set at Comerica Park and 18 of the previous 22 to pull clear in the AL East. For a variety of reasons, we like Toronto when it's Chris Bassitt on the mound, considering the Jays have won ion 12 of his last 16 starts, including the opening series vs. the O's, while he's posted a 2..39 ERA in five July starts. Meanwhile, the Birds have lost the last four starts made by Zach Eflin, who was just reactivated last week, and while serviceable vs. Cleveland, note his 8.72 ERA in five June starts.

Chris Bassitt has led the first-place Blue Jays to four straight wins in his last four starts, and he goes to Baltimore to face Zac Eflin, who has started four straight losses for the Orioles. Over the four games, Eflin has allowed 19 runs combined, the last one coming off the injured list. He’s not in his best form. Now comes the hottest team in baseball with the Blue Jays, who have won 19 of their last 24. Baltimore has lost eight of their last 12 games, and I bet they'll lose this one at this fair price. Blue Jays to win.
