Texas Rangers vs Toronto Blue Jays Picks and Prediction
Texas Rangers vs Toronto Blue Jays Pick
- Pick: Toronto Blue Jays Moneyline
Although these teams have identical overall records, Toronto receives the edge because of the starting pitching matchup and the matchup predictor. Dylan Cease owns the better ERA, WHIP, strikeout total, and home run prevention numbers, while ESPN Analytics gives the Blue Jays a significant advantage. Texas won the first meeting of the series, but Toronto is in a favorable position to respond.
Texas Rangers vs Toronto Blue Jays Total Pick

I would lean toward the under if the total is set at 8.0. Texas owns the better overall team ERA and WHIP, while Toronto sends a starter into the game with a 2.75 ERA and 118 strikeouts. Even though the previous meeting finished 6-5, I expect the pitching matchup to produce a lower-scoring contest.
