Toronto @ Cleveland picks

The Jays are coming off a big win where they put up 10 runs vs. the Guardians, and I look for the bats to stay hot against Gavin Williams. Williams has a brutal 1.42 WHIP and has issues with giving out free passes and long balls — something the Jays can take advantage of. 

Vladdy continues to rake. He's hitting .315 with a .912 OPS with seven extra-base hits and 11 RBIs over his last 14 games. He ranks in the 100th percentile in xBA. While Guardians' starter Gavin Williams could be in for some regression with a 4.37 xERA, which ranks in the 30th percentile.

The leading projection system (THE BAT) forecasts Max Scherzer in the 90th percentile when estimating his strikeout skill.. The Cleveland Guardians have 4 bats in their projected batting order today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (per the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Lane Thomas, Gabriel Arias, Bo Naylor, Nolan Jones)..
