GDB 114.0: Can Davis Schneider and the Toronto Blue Jays stay hot against the Cleveland Guardians?

How sweep it is.

That was a cathartic experience this weekend watching the Toronto Blue Jays sweep the Boston Red Sox in Fenway Park. It brought back memories of the Jays’ 28-5 trashing last year, and Red Sox fans already think the Jays may have just ended their season.

The Davis Schenider era kicked off with a record-setting bang and now, the team looks to carry that momentum into Cleveland to face a Guardians team that sits second in the AL Central.

But we all know what that means: the Guardians stink. Their .482 W-L% is much more indicative to the season they’re having and sold off some assets at the trade deadline.

Couple that with the fact that they’ll be missing Jose Ramirez for a chunk of this series as he appeals a three-game suspension and is in the lineup tonight, and I have a hard time imaging the Jays not rolling through this series victorious.
