Toronto Blue Jays (24-27) versus Pittsburgh Pirates (26-25) is an interleague matchup on Saturday evening at Rogers Center. The Blue Jays opened this series with a 6-2 victory on Friday night. Kevin Gausman pitched strongly into the seventh inning, whereas George Springer and Yohendrick Pinango bagged two-run doubles to lift the Blue Jays past the Pirates. This was their third straight win, a record they’ll look to extend tonight.
The Pirates’ starter, Bubba Chandler (1-6), had a night to forget after allowing three runs and only one earned in five innings. This cold defeat means the Pirates have now dropped five of seven and are 4-10 in their last 10 assignments. They committed three avoidable defensive errors on Friday to allow the Blue Jays to score three times in the eighth. The Pirates will be keen to bounce back tonight.

Our Toronto Blue Jays vs Pittsburgh Pirates Prediction
Pittsburgh Pirates are tipped to win this matchup at -160 odds. We don’t expect it to be another lopsided affair, with the Pirates itching to get back into the series. Pittsburgh will hand Paul Skenes his tenth start of the season, as he seeks to extend his 6-3 record and 2.62 ERA. He’s the main reason why we’ll take the total points to stay under 8.5, as he boasts a 2.14 ERA in his last three starts. He has the necessary skills to reduce pitching errors, which proved costly for the Pirates in Game 1. Toronto, meanwhile, will start Patrick Corbin, who has a 1-1 record and 4.23 ERA this season. These statistics suggest a win for the Pirates.
Our prediction for Toronto Blue Jays vs Pittsburgh Pirates: Under 8.5 runs to hit.
