Toronto Blue Jays DFS SPIN
Yusei Kikuchi was the hard-luck loser in a 1-0 game after going seven innings Tuesday against the Guardians. Kikuchi, who was leading the AL in homers allowed at one point, has now gone five starts in a row without surrendering one. It’s just too bad his support has waned. He had six wins and a 4.47 ERA over his first 11 starts this season. In 12 starts since, he has just three wins in spite of a 2.73 ERA.
Cleveland Guardians DFS SPIN
Ramón Laureano drove in the lone run of the game to help the Guardians beat the Blue Jays in his Cleveland debut Tuesday. The Guardians had just three baserunners all game, but fortunately for them, two of their hits came back-to-back in the second, as Laureano doubled down the line to plate Oscar González. Laureano, who was plucked off waivers Monday, should see a fair amount of time in right field and at DH for the Guardians.

Blue Jays vs. Guardians MLB BETTING PREDICTION
Gausman is 8-6 with a 3.20 ERA on the season and fell to 1-3 in his last six outings after allowing three runs on eight hits in 4 1/3 innings of a 6-1 setback to the Orioles on Thursday. He is 3-4 with a 3.12 ERA in seven career appearances – six starts – against Cleveland. On the other side, Allen is 5-4 with a 3.65 ERA on the season and has overcome a pair of starts in which he allowed two home runs and five runs in both by tossing six strong innings in a 4-2 victory over the White Sox last Friday. I like this pitching matchup and see the under cashing in Cleveland tonight.
