There absolutely is, and you can do a simple experiment at home with some water, indicator solution (one can be made with red cabbage juice, but we used to use methylene blue when we did it at the science centre) and a soda water maker (or dry ice) to see it happen.

It's not completely representative, obviously, but blood is mostly water and the same pH change we can see in carbonation water will happen to blood plasma.

so we should ban carbonated beverages or not?
