Final Betting Pick

The Blue Jays offer a good value on the moneyline at -103, especially given their solid home record of 8-5 this season. Despite recent losses to the Astros in spring training, these games do not reflect regular season performance. Bowden Francis has been consistent with a 3.13 ERA, which should help the Blue Jays in this game.

The under 8.5 pick seems reasonable due to both teams’ strong pitching. The Astros have a 3.35 ERA, ranking 5th, while the Blue Jays have a 3.81 ERA, ranking 10th. Both teams have limited opponents’ batting averages, with the Astros at .207 and the Blue Jays at .225. These stats suggest a lower-scoring game.
