Bettors should look for an outstanding performance from him.Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to Record an RBIVladimir Guerrero Jr. has 18 longballs this season.Yusei Kikuchi has been completely undependable this season. Toronto is optimistic he can turn things around, but bettors shouldn't expect much from him. The only good play when Kikuchi is on the mound is a run in the first inning.A Run to be Scored in the First InningTampa Bay Rays vs. Toronto Blue Jays PredictionsFive games in four days. A lot can change in the standings, depending how this series goes. However, both teams have the opportunity to give themselves some distance in the wild card race. With Jeffery Springs on the mound, it would be completely inadvisable to go against the Rays in this one. Springs has been unbelievable this season. He has pitched in 18 games and started in 10. Of those 18 appearances, he only allowed a run in six. Tampa is the play tonight.Rays (+120)
