Blue Jays at Brewers picks and predictions
Prediction
Blue Jays 6, Brewers 5
Moneyline
The BLUE JAYS (-120) are 4-1 in their last 5 games after a loss. Expect Toronto to bounce back, while Rodriguez, who has a 5.17 ERA in Triple-A this season, may struggle in his debut.
BET BLUE JAYS (-120).
Run line/Against the spread
The Brewers +1.5 (-165) will likely cover at home, but paying the juice on the 25-cent line isn’t worth it.
PASS. Bet the ML and/or total instead.
Over/Under
The Blue Jays have scored 5 or more runs in 5 of their last 6 games following a loss, and the Over has hit in 3 of Milwaukee’s last 4 outings. With Rodriguez making his MLB debut and the Blue Jays in a good spot to bounce back offensively, BET OVER 8.5 (-105).
