Toronto Blue Jays vs Tampa Bay Rays Prediction, Odds and Picks for Saturday, 05/24/25

In this game, we will see the Toronto Blue Jays take on the Tampa Bay Rays for the fifth time this season. At this point, the Rays are 3-1 in the series. On the mound in this one, we will see Jose Berrios of the Blue Jays and Shane Baz of the Rays. These pitchers faced off earlier this year with the Rays winning by a score of 11-9. In that game, both pitchers struggled, and the Jays bullpen ended up losing the game. This is a great bounce-back spot for one of these pitchers. Berrios has had a very up and down year but has managed to pitch well away from Toronto. In away starts, Berrios has a 2.70 ERA only giving up 7 runs in 23.1 innings pitched. This can give the Blue Jays a boost of confidence after the 4-hit game last night. Additionally, the Blue Jays come into this series after sweeping the San Diego Padres. For the Rays, Baz started the year great but has struggled in the month of May. During May, he has an ERA of 9.61 giving up 21 runs in 19.2 innings.

Overall, both pitchers have been struggling but we can feel more confident in Berrios as he has pitched well in his other starts this month. In all other starts he has only given up 2 runs per game while pitching a minimum of 6 innings. In terms of hitting, both teams are hitting the ball similarly at the moment. Over the past week, the Blue Jays have scored 29 runs while the Rays have scored 22 with both teams accruing 44 hits. These teams also have very similar bullpen statistics meaning that this game may be decided by the starters. Given the optimistic away statistics for Berrios and the clear issues that are plaguing Baz over the month of May, I am rolling with the Blue Jays to get the win today.
