The Toronto Blue Jays are in the playoffs for the first time since 2016 with a 32-28 record. The Blue Jays were 26-26 but finished 6-2 down the stretch to grab the 8th and final playoff spot. The Jays offense is led by Lourdes Gurriel Jr. with a .308 batting average. Teoscar Hernandez hit 16 home runs while Randal Grichuk drove in 35 to lead the Jays. Matt Shoemaker went 2-0 with a 4.71 ERA this season. Against Tampa Bay in his career, he is 4-0 with a 2.56 ERA and 35 strikeouts against Tampa Bay.

The Tampa Bay Rays finished the season with a 40-20 record and the top seed in the AL. Tampa Bay comes in on a roll having finished the season with nine wins in their last eleven games. The Rays offense was led by Brandon Lowe with a .269 batting average to go with 14 home runs, and he drove in 37. Starting pitcher Blake Snell finished the year with a 4-2 record and a 3.24 ERA, In his career against the Jays, he is 4-3 with a 2.81 ERA.

Not sure how many innings you will get from Shoemaker as this could be a bullpen game for the Jays. Snell jas pitched well this season and has pitched really well against the Jays in his career. I like the Jays in this one but like the UNDER even more.

Play on the UNDER.
