Free Toronto Blue Jays vs. Cleveland Indians MLB Prediction:
This matchup involves a strong pitching staff and a strong lineup. I’m taking the pitching staff and the Indians in this one.
I think that Bauer is a much better pitcher than Liriano and it will show. Bauer will be able to sit on this Blue Jays lineup enough to pull out the win.
Look for the Indians lineup to knock Liriano around pretty well.
