Toronto head to New York to face the Mets and are starting former met pitcher Chris Bassitt in this game. Bassitt is coming off a rough game giving up 7 earned runs. Previous to that game Bassitt had given up 2 earned runs over his previous 4 starts including 3 shutouts.

New York is starting Verlander in this game who has had 3 good starts and two starts where he went 5 innings and allowed 6 earned runs. New York is coming off a divisional series against Philadelphia and now face Toronto.

Toronto has the hitting advantage in this game as they are 4th in OPS against right handed pitchers while New York is 17th.

I like Toronto to take momentum from their series win against Milwaukee into this first game against the New York Mets.

Pick: Toronto Blue Jays ML
