Starting Pitchers for Tuesday Night

Toronto has not yet announced a starting pitcher for this matchup. San Francisco is expected to start Trevor McDonald, who enters with a 3-6 record, a 4.42 ERA, a 1.23 WHIP, and 57.0 innings pitched. McDonald has allowed 51 hits while striking out 50 batters, walking 19, and surrendering four home runs. With Toronto’s starter still to be determined, McDonald gives the Giants a defined option heading into the opener of this series.

Toronto Looks to Improve on the Road

The Blue Jays enter Tuesday’s contest with a 42-48 overall record and an 18-23 mark away from home. Toronto has won two of its last five games, recently defeating Seattle once and the Mets once while recently losing twice to Seattle and once to the Mets. The Blue Jays have experienced mixed results over the past week and will look to start this road series on a positive note.

Toronto is batting .244 with 356 runs, 734 hits, and 88 home runs. The Blue Jays own a .306 on-base percentage and a .382 slugging percentage. Their pitching staff has compiled a 4.11 ERA with a 1.30 WHIP while allowing opponents to hit .240. Toronto has issued 318 walks and recorded 800 strikeouts. The Blue Jays are 24-26 in night games.

Toronto’s biggest strength entering this matchup is its pitching staff. The Blue Jays have the lower ERA, lower WHIP, lower opponent batting average, and a significantly higher strikeout total than San Francisco. Those advantages have helped keep the club competitive despite its record falling below .500.

San Francisco Returns Home Seeking Consistency

The Giants come into Tuesday night’s game with a 37-52 overall record and an 18-22 record at Oracle Park. San Francisco has won two of its last five games, recently defeating Colorado and Arizona while recently losing twice to Colorado and once to Arizona. The Giants have alternated wins and losses during their recent stretch and now look to capitalize on home field.

San Francisco is batting .256 with 364 runs, 783 hits, and 99 home runs. The Giants have posted a .308 on-base percentage and a .422 slugging percentage. On the mound, they own a 4.51 ERA with a 1.38 WHIP while allowing opponents to hit .251. San Francisco has walked 337 batters and recorded 687 strikeouts. The Giants are 21-34 in night games.

The Giants’ biggest advantage is their offense. San Francisco leads this matchup in batting average, runs scored, hits, home runs, on-base percentage, and slugging percentage. Those offensive numbers have given the Giants an opportunity to stay in games even though their pitching statistics trail Toronto’s in several important categories.

Toronto Blue Jays vs. San Francisco Giants Picks and Prediction

Toronto Blue Jays vs. San Francisco Giants Pick

  • Pick: Toronto Blue Jays Moneyline

I’m backing Toronto because the Blue Jays own the stronger overall pitching profile. They enter with the lower team ERA, lower WHIP, better opponent batting average, and over 100 more strikeouts than San Francisco. While the Giants have been more productive offensively, I believe Toronto’s pitching gives the Blue Jays the edge in this matchup.

Toronto Blue Jays vs. San Francisco Giants Total Pick

  • Pick: Under 8.5

I would take the under if the total is set at 8.5. Toronto’s pitching numbers have been stronger throughout the season, including a 4.11 ERA and a .240 opponent batting average. Although San Francisco has produced solid offensive numbers, I think Toronto’s pitching keeps this game from turning into a high-scoring contest.

Final Score Prediction: Toronto Blue Jays 5 – San Francisco Giants 3
