Toronto Blue Jays
Hyun-Jin Ryu will make $20 million guaranteed for the next four years in Toronto after signing a free agent deal in the offseason.
He was the Cy Young favorite for most of the season in the National League a year ago for the Dodgers before Jacob deGrom caught him right at the end.
He gives the Jays a legitimate ace to match up with the other top arms in the American League East. Not only will he keep the Jays in these sorts of games, he’ll give the rest of the staff more confidence on days he doesn’t pitch.
I’m not sure Toronto would have been able to win a 162-game grind in this division with all of its young talent but it may just be a player in 2020’s short sprint.
Tampa Bay Rays
Tampa Bay will trot out Charlie Morton on Opening Day after giving reigning Cy Young Blake Snell the start last season.
You would be hard pressed to find a more overlooked starting pitcher in the game. Morton didn’t make an All-Star team until 2018 as a 34-year-old. He followed that up with a third-place finish in last year’s Cy Young vote.
As he ages and relies less on velocity, he simply gets better. His control is impeccable and he can sink the ball with the best of them.
The Rays have four other starting pitchers plenty of teams would like to be able to throw out on Opening Day but it’s fitting that Morton, who is both a vocal and on-field leader, is the man.

Free Toronto Blue Jays vs. Tampa Bay Rays MLB Prediction: Toronto at the underdog price.
The Jays have all the youth and I’m betting on that youth to come out a little faster and a little more aggressive to start 2020.
Plus, without a season at their home in Canada, the Jays will have to be extra good on the road this season. Look for them to potentially start fast, which means we’re backing them as ‘dogs out of the gate.
