Guardians vs Blue Jays Picks and Prediction – 5/3/2025

The Rogers Centre will play host to a Saturday afternoon MLB clash between the Cleveland Guardians and the Toronto Blue Jays. Be ready for the baseball season with all of our MLB predictions. The Guardians (18-14) are two games below .500 on the road and trail AL Central Division leading Detroit by two games. Last night, 1B Carlos Santana and C Bo Naylor each homered during a 5-3 road loss against Toronto. 

Twenty-five year old righty Gavin Williams (2-2 5.14 ERA) will head to the hill for the Guardians in this contest. Control has been an issue for Williams, who has issued 14 walks and surrendered five long balls across 28 frames.

The Toronto Blue Jays have won 11 of their first 17 home games and are three games off the pace in the AL East Division race. During Friday’s home victory, Nathan Lukes delivered a two-run single in the eighth inning to put Toronto ahead to stay. DH George Springer homered and scored twice for the Blue Jays, who evened their record at 16-16 on the year. 

Toronto skipper John Schneider will give the nod to veteran right-hander Kevin Gausman (2-3 4.50 ERA) on Saturday. In his last start, Gausman was tagged for six runs and recorded just eight outs during an 11-2 road loss against New York. 

Toronto SP Max Scherzer (thumb) threw a bullpen session on Wednesday and is expected to rejoin the rotation later this month. Through 32 games, Cleveland ranks 20th in OPS and 21st in runs scored. For the season, Toronto ranks 25th in OPS and 27th in runs scored. Take the Guardians to win on the road. Final Score Prediction, Cleveland Guardians win 4-3.
