Reds vs. Blue Jays NRFI/YRFI Prediction for 8/20
Both offenses are fairly league-average but have some notable hitters that could crush the NRFI in the first inning. Jose Berrios and Carson Spiers have done well against right-handers but have notable struggles against lefties. Daulton Varsho and Elly De La Cruz are the two lefties in the front of the order for both sides that can do damage. However, the strikeout rate is still rather high and suggests that, more often than not, these pitchers will get through the first part of the order.
