Well the Rays are the favourites, and have deeper pitching,.
But if I were handicapping the series, I wouldn't put it at much more than 50/50. The Jays certainly have the starting pitching for a 3 game set. And their bullpen is as good as Tampa's. They are young and inexperienced, but now that they are mostly healthy again, their lineup is decently deep.
As I posted before, they were 3-4 in the 7 games in Tampa, outscored by a single run. And 2 of the 4 losses were in extra innings. And the Jays are a better team now than they were then.
I will be putting money down on the Jays to take the series.
