TOJ vs CLE Dream11 Match Prediction: Staunch fans and dazzling displays is making Toronto Blue Jays belated return to the Rogers Centre all the sweeter. Jays, who returned to their base, Canada, roughly after 670 days due to the Covid-19 pandemic, have now won three out of three in front of home fans after downing Kansas City Royals 5-1 in their last outing. Their offensive ratings have gone through the roof, while pitching had improved significantly. The support from the home fans is the tonic Jays players are feeling blessed with and riding on, with the team scoring for fun, having slogged a combined 15 runs in the last three outings alone.

There were plenty of positives to take from the 5-1 mauling of Kansas. Vladimir Guerrero missed out but Jose Berrios delivered a memorable debut performance, slugging home 7 strike-outs in 6.0 innings. Cleveland Indians are a decent team, but the road can be uphill, and daunting when the home team is playing in front of the roaring fans. Indians will open their four-game away tilt against Toronto Blue Jays with the first match at Rogers Centre on late Monday night (IST).
