The Toronto Blue Jays will face the St. Louis Cardinals on 27th July 2022, in what will be the second game of their ongoing series. The Blue Jays were able to win the first game of the series quite easily by a score of 10-3.

The Cardinals are missing their two best players Nolan Arenado and Paul Goldschmidt due to vaccine mandates that are present in Toronto, Canada. As a result, the second and last game of this mini-series between the Cardinals and the Blue Jays will be a tough ladder to climb for the team from St. Louis.

  • Toronto Blue Jays currently have a record of 54-43.
  • St. Louis Cardinals currently have a record of 51-47.

Player to watch out for in Toronto Blue Jays vs St. Louis Cardinals

  • Vladimir Guerrero Jr. – Blue Jays

Vladdy had a great outing in the first game of the series against the Cardinals. In 5 at-bats, he had a hit, which was a home run and counted as 2 RBIs. He’ll be expected to carry his good form from the all-star break into this match as well.

Match Prediction & Telecast Details:

The Blue Jays will be heavily favored to win this game and sweep the mini-series against the St. Louis Cardinals because the Cardinals are without their two best players, who are very important to their clubhouse.
