Cleveland Indians at Toronto Blue Jays Prediction

Even though the Indians have won eight in a row and the first two games of this series they are major road underdogs tonight. While Bauer was solid against the Blue Jays this season he is only 1-1 with a 6.27 ERA in four career games facing them and 1-1 with a 7.11 ERA in two career games at Toronto. He did not end the season well giving up a total of 30 earned runs in his last seven starts. The Blue Jays have only totaled one run in the first two games of this series, but in their last two home games they have combined to score 12 runs. Their bats will come alive tonight facing Bauer and Toronto will get back in this series with a win.
