The offense is there for the Blue Jays; they just needed a bit of luck in Wednesday's loss to Cleveland. On Thursday, I say they get it done for Kevin Gausman. Gausman is in line for a bounce-back and has fared well vs. the Guardians, pitching to a 2.45 ERA with 28 strikeouts in five starts. I'll back him over Tanner Bibee, who was shelled for 11 hits against the Athletics last time out.
