Giants at Blue Jays picks and predictions

Prediction

Blue Jays 4, Giants 3

Moneyline

It’s hard to bet against a pitcher with the last name Winn, but he’s making his first start in the majors. Considering that, I’ll take the BLUE JAYS (-150) at home to close out the series.

Run line/Against the spread

GIANTS +1.5 (-160) is how I’d bet on the run line despite Winn making his first career start. San Francisco has quietly been one of the better teams recently and Bassitt has struggled in recent starts, so the Giants should be able to keep this one close.

Over/Under

UNDER 9 (-105) is the lean in this game despite the pitchers that are getting the nod on Thursday. The Giants have gone Under in 3 straight contests and the Under is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings between these clubs.

San Francisco Giants at Toronto Blue Jays odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s San Francisco Giants at Toronto Blue Jays odds and lines, with expert MLB picks, predictions and best bets.

The San Francisco Giants (45-34) and the Toronto Blue Jays (43-37) play the middle contest of a 3-game interleague series Wednesday at Rogers Centre. First pitch is scheduled for 7:07 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Giants vs. Blue Jays odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Giants lead 1-0 after Tuesday’s 3-0 road victory

The Giants improved to 10-11 in interleague play with Tuesday’s shutout win. Meanwhile, the Blue Jays slipped to 14-7 vs. NL but still have the best interleague winning percentage in the AL.

San Francisco has won 3 of the past 4 games overall. The shutout Tuesday was its 2nd in the past 10 games, and 7th overall this season. The Giants are 18-5 in the past 23 games on the road.

Toronto was blanked Tuesday for the 2nd time in the past 7 games — the only times it has been shut out this season, with both occasions in interleague contests. The Jays are just 5-16 in the past 21 games against NL West teams.

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.

Giants at Blue Jays picks and predictions

Prediction

Blue Jays 4, Giants 2

Moneyline

TORONTO (-165) should win its 7th straight game with Gausman starting, especially considering the advantage it will have at starting pitcher with the former Giants player on the mound. I expect this line to increase closer to first pitch, so if you like Toronto, I would bet it now to beat the closing line.

The Blue Jays’ run line is also an option for those who would like to wager less for a higher payout.

Run line/Against the spread

Toronto is 4-0 in its last 4 home games vs. teams with a winning record, and its last 4 wins overall have been by multiple runs. The Giants’ last 3 losses have been by 3 or more runs and they should struggle to keep it close with their disadvantage at starting pitcher.

LEAN BLUE JAYS -1.5 (+120).

Over/Under

The Under is 4-1 in San Francisco’s last 5 interleague road games and 4-1-1 in Toronto’s last 6 interleague matchups at home.

The Under has gone 5-2-1 in Toronto’s last 8 home games vs. teams with a winning record and should hit again Tuesday with Gausman on the mound.

BET UNDER 8 (+100).
