Diamondbacks vs Blue Jays
North-of-the-border bats look ready to clip desert snakes.

Diamondbacks (36-35) VS Blue Jays (38-33)
Jun 17, 2025 | 7:07 PM ET | Rogers Centre, Toronto, ON

Toronto enters this one riding a three-game loss streak but are looking sharper at the plate, while Arizona comes in after snapping a five game win streak and with key absences that weaken both the middle of the lineup and the bullpen. The home side's starting pitcher has performed well historically in this matchup and is backed by a bullpen that’s allowed just a single run over its last nine innings. The visitors counter with a starter who’s had trouble on the road and hasn’t fared well in previous trips to this park.
With postseason urgency starting to creep in and Toronto holding a cleaner injury report and better recent form, the short price on the home team offers value. The difference in bullpen stability and run prevention points toward a narrow but confident edge.

Arizona enters this midseason clash looking to start a new winning streak and still brings some power from the top of the order, while Toronto, with three straight losses, is getting timely production from the middle of its lineup. Both teams are still chasing postseason hopes, which means no leash will be too short for pitchers in trouble. That could spell trouble, though, as both bullpens are thinned by key injuries, and neither club has its usual rotation anchors available for this one.
With a pair of vulnerable pitching staffs and an indoor setting that plays lively in warm conditions, this matchup has the ingredients for a run-heavy affair. Both offenses profile well in terms of contact quality, and recent bullpen usage only adds to the likelihood of late scoring. Over 9.5 runs makes sense given the setup.

Arizona aims to ride their good run of form into a Wild Card spot and gets a boost from a top-tier starter who’s had mixed results in this park. Toronto, meanwhile, continues to struggle, having lost three straight and still managing a rotation hit hard by injuries. With the bullpen overworked and the lineup sputtering, scoring just six runs over their last 36 innings, the Blue Jays are limping into this one with limited depth and little momentum.
The visiting side has a cleaner pitching setup and a lineup showing better recent contact quality, making the -1.5 run line at plus odds a compelling play. Even in a ballpark that traditionally suppresses offense, the matchup leans toward Arizona if their starter delivers a quality outing and the bullpen holds serve. Grade: B for probability and attractive return.
