Giants at Blue Jays picks and predictions
Prediction
Giants 6, Blue Jays 3
Moneyline
The GIANTS (+102) are worth a look at plus money. Webb has actually been pretty solid on the road, recording 55 K across 58 2/3 IP.
Meanwhile, the Blue Jays will be going with a bullpen game as they are still recovering from having to banish the struggling RHP Alek Manoah to the minors. No one has stepped up, and he is nowhere near returning to form at the lower levels. Toronto’s bullpen is fairly middling, posting a 3.87 ERA which ranks 10th in the AL.
Run line/Against the spread
The GIANTS -1.5 (+195) are worth using on the run line for a chance to nearly double up. San Francisco is 2-1 in the past 3 games as a favorite, covering the run line in each outing.
Meanwhile, the Blue Jays are 1-3 in the past 4 games as underdogs and failed to cover on the run line in all 3 of those setbacks.

Over/Under
The OVER 8.5 (-105) is a slight lean.
The Over has cashed at a 5-2-1 clip for the Blue Jays in the past 8 games. And again, the Blue Jays bullpen has struggled, and this will be a bullpen game for the Jays.
The Over is 9-4 in the Giants’ last 13 games while going 5-1 across the past 6 contests on the road. The Over is also 6-2 in the past 8 games for San Francisco against opponents with a winning overall record.
