The Toronto Blue Jays are playing in Truist Park in Cumberland, Georgia to face off against the Atlanta Braves. The Toronto Blue Jays are starting left hander, Hyun- Jin Ryu. Ryu is 0-1 this year with a. 8.00 ERA. The Braves are starting left-handed pitcher, Sean Newcomb. Newcomb is 0-0 this year with an 8.22 ERA. Both pitchers are looking to get back on the right track in this matchup.

The Toronto Blue Jays are 3-4 on the year and are looking to get back on the right track against this talented Atlanta team. The Blue Jays are led by left fielder, Teoscar Hernandez. Hernandez is batting .321, to go along with 4 HR and 6 RBIs. If the Blue Jays want a chance to stay with the Braves, they need Ryu to pitch extremely well.

The Atlanta Braves are 7-4 to start the year. The Braves bats are led by shortstop, Dansby Swanson. Swanson is batting .333, to go along with 2 HR and 11 RBIs. The Braves are off to a slower start than they would like but Atlanta has looked better as of late.

In this matchup I like the Atlanta Braves to win with ease. The Braves are a better offensive team and the Blue Jays have a struggling pitcher in Ryu facing this talented squad. Final Score Prediction, Atlanta Braves will win but our top play is on the over 8-5.
