Prediction

Blue Jays 6, Indians 3

Money line (ML)

Cleveland took Monday’s opener but has otherwise been in a tailspin since late June. The Indians are 11-20 over their last 31 games.

Toronto has been quite good in the second half, posting a robust .852 OPS going into Monday’s contest.

Toronto is a lean at around -200. PASS on the current tag.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

Toronto’s offense, Ryu’s history vs. Cleveland and the Jays’ average margin of victory over their last six wins being 4.57 runs makes for value to leverage in a TORONTO -1.5 (-107).

Over/Under (O/U)

Too many signals at cross purposes. PASS.

The Cleveland Indians (51-51) battle the Toronto Blue Jays (54-48) Monday at 3:07 p.m. ET in what marks the opening game of a four-game set at Rogers Centre. Let’s analyze the lines around the Indians vs. Blue Jays odds with MLB picks and predictions.

RHP Eli Morgan is the projected starting pitcher for the Indians. He is 1-3 with a 7.47 ERA, 1.37 WHIP, 9.5 K/9 and 1.4 BB/9 over 31 1/3 IP spanning seven starts.

• Rookie who has exhibited good control but hittable stuff through his first seven MLB starts. Yielded 3 or more runs in each outing.
• Right-handed batters own a 1.008 OPS against him. A way-above-average 78% of Toronto’s plate appearances against right-handed pitchers are logged by right-handed bats.

LHP Robbie Ray is the projected starter for the Blue Jays. He is 9-5 with a 3.04 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, 11.4 K/9 and 2.3 BB/9 through 118 1/3 IP across 20 starts.

• Allowed 3 home runs in a July 21 clunker against the Boston Red Sox but bounced back to allow just 1 run over 6 frames against the same BoSox squad Wednesday.
• Has benefited from a .266 batting average on balls in play and a 90.8% left-on-base rate.

Prediction

Blue Jays 6, Indians 4

Money line (ML)

Cleveland has been in a tailspin since late-June and is 10-20 over its last 30 games.

Toronto has been quite good in the second half, posting a robust .852 OPS while going 9-6 through 15 games.

PASS on a money line that looks to have true odds well-bracketed on both sides.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

The 2-and-a-half-run play is worth a line watch. With Morgan posting some serviceable innings over his last 2 starts and Ray coming off a 108-pitch outing, there is some value in Cleveland +2.5 if you can get a price of -125 or better.

Over/Under (O/U)

The Blue Jays offense has been cranking out impressive performances and a recent Indians downturn with the bats is partially due to some BABIP shortage.

Peg some fade to Ray’s overall numbers and figure the Indians as having a fatigued bullpen which could’ve used a Monday off day. TAKE THE OVER 9.5 (-105).
