Astros vs. Blue Jays NRFI/YRFI prediction for Monday
Both of these offenses have heated up over the last week and are in a friendly hitting environment in this one. Hunter Brown has dominated of late, boasting a 1.16 ERA in June. While Toronto’s lineup dominated over the weekend, they are still a league average offense against right-handed pitching. The real area of concern is Yariel Rodriguez, who struggles with command and has a low strikeout rate. Altuve, Bregman, and Alvarez are in prime position to strike early and I look for them to do so.
