Astros vs. Blue Jays picks and predictions

Prediction

Astros 5, Blue Jays 4

Money line

ASTROS LEAN (-105).

Houston is 3-1 in their last 4 road games and 8-2 in their last 10 games overall while the Blue Jays are just 3-3 in their last 6 home games and 4-6 in their last 10 games overall.

The Astros are also 2-1 in their last 3 meetings against Toronto. But keep in mind that the Blue Jays are 4-2 in their last 6 meetings against the Astros in Toronto.

Racing Line/Against the Spread

PASS.

I expect the Blue Jays to cover here, especially given their solid performance against Houston at home, but a line set at +1.5 (-190) is far too risky to bet on. Bet on the moneyline and/or the total instead.

More less

BET OVER 8.5 (-105).

The Over has been successful in 4 of Houston’s last 5 games and is 6-3-1 in their last 10 games. For Toronto, the Over is 5-1 in their last 6 home games and 8-1-1 in their last 10 games overall.

Note that the Under is 6-3-1 in the last 10 Houston-Toronto games.
