![]() My best bet: Astros moneyline ( +100 at SIA) That consistency plus the even money means I like Houston to take this game and the series. But the right-hander has been fairly consistent during his first two full big-league seasons, pitching to a 3.60 ERA. I believe he is one of the guys more affected by the pitch clock. It’s also been a rough start to the season for Astros’ starter Luis Garcia. He owned a 6.36 ERA on the road last season, and those two ugly starts to begin the year were unsurprisingly, both on the road.Įven though Houston’s bats have been a little cold to start the season, we saw in the opener they can go off at any time, particularly against a guy like Berrios who throws a lot of meatballs over the middle of the plate.

The right-hander threw 6 1/3 scoreless innings against the Astros, and now the Jays are hoping they can get a similar performance out of Jose Berrios. The Blue Jays got a much-needed great start out of Chris Bassitt last night. Which version of Berrios will show up for this AL matchup? I’m not sure anyone knows, but I’ll break down the odds and bring you my best bet in our MLB picks and predictions for Blue Jays vs. Oh, and they hand the ball to the uber-volatile Jose Berrios. The MLB odds have the Blue Jays as slight road favorites for this matchup, which is interesting since they are on the road against the defending World Series champions. The Astros thumped the Blue Jays 9-2 in the series opener, but Toronto bounced back in Game 2 with a 4-2 win on Tuesday.Īnd now it feels like anything can happen in Wednesday’s series finale. After a back-and-forth first two games, we get the rubber match between the Toronto Blue Jays and the Houston Astros on Wednesday night.
