The Blue Jays' biggest advantage comes from their pitching consistency. They have the lower ERA, lower WHIP, and a better opponent batting average than San Francisco. That combination has helped keep them competitive, even during stretches when the offense has struggled to produce consistently.

San Francisco Looks to Build Momentum at Home

The Giants enter this contest with a 37-52 overall record and an 18-22 record at Oracle Park. San Francisco has gone 2-3 over its last five games. The Giants recently lost a close game to Colorado after splitting the previous four contests with victories over both Colorado and Arizona. While the recent results have been mixed, they have shown they can produce enough offense to stay in games.

San Francisco has compiled a .256 team batting average while scoring 358 runs on 773 hits. The Giants have connected for 95 home runs with a .307 on-base percentage and a .420 slugging percentage. On the mound, they own a 4.49 ERA and a 1.38 WHIP while allowing opponents to hit .250. The pitching staff has totaled 678 strikeouts while issuing 337 walks.

The Giants have been stronger at the plate than Toronto in several categories. They own the higher batting average, have collected more hits, produced more home runs, and posted the better slugging percentage. However, their pitching staff has allowed more baserunners and carries higher ERA and WHIP numbers, making run prevention a challenge at times.

Toronto Blue Jays vs San Francisco Giants Picks and Prediction

Toronto Blue Jays vs San Francisco Giants Pick

  • Pick: Blue Jays Moneyline (-114)

This matchup is evenly priced, but I give Toronto the edge because of its pitching numbers. The Blue Jays have the lower team ERA, the lower WHIP, and have limited opponents to a better batting average than the Giants. Toronto also has the advantage with the scheduled starting pitcher based on ERA and WHIP. Those factors are enough for me to back the Blue Jays on the moneyline.

Toronto Blue Jays vs San Francisco Giants Total Pick

  • Pick: Under 8

I'm taking the under 8 in this matchup. Toronto has posted the stronger overall pitching numbers, and the projected starters have combined to limit baserunners reasonably well with WHIPs of 1.19 and 1.37. I think the pitching matchup gives this game a good opportunity to stay below the posted total.

Final Score Prediction: Toronto Blue Jays 4 – San Francisco Giants 3
