Cleveland Guardians (47-26) vs Toronto Blue Jays (35-40)

The ball is flying out of Progressive Field right now and we saw these two teams combine for seven bombs on Saturday. I think we see plenty of homers on Sunday but I think Toronto does most of the mashing this team against McKenzie, who has given up the third-most HR in baseball and owns a 1.92 HR/9 on the year. McKenzie has a semi-decent 4.48 ERA but owns a FIP, xFIP, and SIERA in the 5.00s and continued regression is expected. Kikuchi just has to be decent here for the Jays' bats to do the talking in my opinion. While the Guardians have the far better bullpen in this series that bullpen has been worked very hard recently with lots of guys pitching in three of the last four days. I will take the Blue Jays on the ML on the road here to salvage this series.
