The Toronto Blue Jays snapped their 3-game skid yesterday by edging the Atlanta Braves, 2-1. Tonight they are expected to send their young phenom, Nate Pearson, to the rubber when the two clubs conclude their 3-game set at Truist Park. Pearson is the real deal. He can reach 100 miles an hour and proved he is worth all the hype when he made his Big League debut against the Washington Nationals. Pearson pitched 5 scoreless innings and yielded just 2 hits. The Braves will be without Ozzie Albies and Matt Adams, who landed on the injured list, which will definitely take a bite out of their potent offense. The Jays’ young guns should be able to get to Atlanta’s expected starter, Touki Toussaint, who has a 8.10 ERA and a 1.80 WHIP.
TONIGHT’S PICK: TORONTO BLUE JAYS
