The Toronto Blue Jays (43-52) and Arizona Diamondbacks (49-47) wrap up a 3-game set at Chase Field Sunday. First pitch is scheduled for 4:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Blue Jays vs. Diamondbacks odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Diamondbacks lead 2-0

After taking the Friday opener 5-4 as +107 underdogs, the Diamondbacks won 12-1 as -130 favorites Saturday — the Over cashed in both games. RF Corbin Carroll hit 2 homers and had 6 RBIs in Saturday’s victory, while rookie SP Yilber Díaz yielded just 1 run on 4 hits and 2 walks in 6 innings for his 1st career win — in just his 2nd MLB outing.

Blue Jays SP José Berríos allowed 4 or more runs for a 3rd straight time in taking the loss. While Toronto has lost back-to-back games, it is still 4-3 over its last 7 games.

Blue Jays at Diamondbacks picks and predictions

Prediction

Diamondbacks 4, Blue Jays 3

Moneyline

The DIAMONDBACKS (-155) should complete the sweep against the Blue Jays, who have been outscored 17-5 so far in this series.

Kikuchi has lost 3 straight decisions, and Toronto is 0-5 in his last 5 starts. While Gallen did give up 4 earned runs in his last outing — Tuesday at Atlanta — he has allowed 1 run or fewer in 4 of his 7 home starts this season.

BET DIAMONDBACKS (-155).

Run line/Against the spread

Arizona -1.5 (+135) may hit, but expecting the Diamondbacks to beat the Blue Jays by multiple runs in back-to-back games is a tough ask. However, laying -160 to bet the Blue Jays +1.5 is also a little expensive.

PASS. Bet the ML and/or total instead.

Over/Under

Kikuchi has allowed 2 earned runs or fewer in back-to-back outings, while Gallen has given up an average of 1.57 runs per game in 7 home starts this year. Toronto is also the 24th-ranked offense in MLB this season, averaging just 4.02 runs per game.

BET UNDER 8.5 (-115).

The Toronto Blue Jays (43-51) and Arizona Diamondbacks (48-47) play the 2nd contest of a 3-game series Saturday. First pitch from Chase Field is scheduled for 10:10 p.m. ET (MLB Network). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Blue Jays vs. Diamondbacks odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Diamondbacks lead 1-0

Arizona opened the 3-game interleague set Friday night with a 5-4 comeback victory against Toronto. It was a seesaw affair, as Arizona took a 2-0 lead after 4 innings, before Toronto built a picket fence with 1 run each in innings 5 through 8. Arizona tied it up 4-4 in the bottom of the 8th, and walked it off in the bottom of the 9th with a Geraldo Perdomo sac fly to score Corbin Carroll.

The Blue Jays have still won 4 of the past 6 games despite the loss, with the offense averaging 5.4 runs per game (RPG). The Over is 5-1 in the 6-game span, all on the road.

The Diamondbacks have won 3 in a row, their longest success streak since a 4-game run from June 1-4. Arizona has also been on quite the Over run, going high on the total at a 9-1-1 clip in the previous 11 contests, and 13-3-1 across the past 17 outings.

In interleague play, Toronto is 12-12 so far this season, while Arizona has managed a 12-15 mark. Against RHP, the Jays are 36-40, while the D-Backs are 34-29.

Blue Jays at Diamondbacks projected starters

• Last start: No-decision, 6 IP, 4 ER, 7 H (2 HR), 1 BB, 10 K in 5-4 road win in 10 innings vs. Seattle Mariners Sunday
• 2024 road splits: 2-5, 4.55 ERA (57 1/3 IP, 29 ER), 1.22 WHIP, .258 opponents’ batting average (OBA), 15 BB, 48 K in 10 starts (1 CG)
• Career vs. Diamondbacks: 1-0, 0.73 ERA (12 1/3 IP, 1 ER), 0.89 WHIP, 8.0 K/9 in 2 starts

Blue Jays at Diamondbacks picks and predictions

Prediction

Blue Jays 5, Diamondbacks 4

Moneyline

The BLUE JAYS (+116) are a worth a look as short ‘dogs on the road against the Diamondbacks (-134), who turn to Diaz for just his 2nd career outing.

While the rookie did a tremendous job in his major league debut against a tough team, it won’t get any easier against a Toronto offense that has been producing lately.

Run line/Against the spread

The Blue Jays +1.5 (-192) will cost you nearly 2 times your potential return if you need some insurance, and you just cannot bring yourself to back Toronto straight up.

If you like Toronto, play it straight up, although the Blue Jays are an impressive 7-0 in the past 7 games as an underdog on the run line. It has 4 outright wins as a ‘dog during the span, while losing the other 3 times by just a single run, including Friday.

PASS, though, as this is just too expensive.

Over/Under

OVER 8.5 (-120) is the lean, but wager a half-unit play at most.

The Over has cashed in 3 in a row for Toronto, and 5 of the past 6 outings.

For Arizona, it’s been all about the Over lately, cashing at a 9-1-1 clip in the previous 11 outings, with a push in Diaz’s MLB debut Monday against the Braves.
