Toronto at Cincinnati

Toronto has split its past 10 games as it continues to lead the AL East, but it can't let up as the Yankees and Red Sox are closing in. The Blue Jays come off an 8-4 win over Milwaukee on Sunday when Myles Straw and Nathan Lukes each had two hits and two RBIs, and the bullpen threw five shutout innings. The Blue Jays have won 10 of 15 against NL Central opponents. Cincinnati's playoff hopes are vanishing after losing five of six and eight of 10. The Reds are only averaging 3.1 runs over their past 10 games. Chris Bassitt has pitched in some hard luck recently, but he had a 3.67 ERA and a .214 opponent batting average in August with 27 strikeouts in 27 innings for the Blue Jays. Hunter Greene gave up five runs on six hits in five innings in a 7-0 loss to the Dodgers last Monday. Take the Blue Jays.
