Toronto Blue Jays
Moneyline Pick - Toronto Blue Jays (-135): B

Toronto rolls into this matchup on a two-game win streak, backed by steady production from its core hitters and a strong pitching edge. With their ace on the mound and Arizona missing its top starter due to shoulder fatigue, the Blue Jays are well-positioned to take control early. The home side also gets a boost with a key infielder set to return, adding depth to a lineup already finding its rhythm. Arizona, meanwhile, has dropped three straight and continues to search for consistency as the first half winds down.

The pitching matchup tilts clearly in Toronto’s favour, and their recent form gives little reason to fade them here. As they look to solidify their place atop the AL Wild Card race, backing the Blue Jays to handle business at home feels like a strong play. With only modest juice on the line, the bet carries both value and momentum behind it.

Over/Under Pick - Over 8.5 (-110): B

Arizona may have dropped three straight, but its speed threat remains a factor against a Toronto team rolling through a two-game win streak. With both clubs missing their top starters, this turns into a battle between mid-rotation arms and bullpens that haven’t inspired much confidence—each ranking in the bottom third in ERA since the start of June. Toronto’s offence, led by power from the heart of the lineup, has thrived at home lately, and the roof possibly being closed at Rogers Centre should only help batted balls carry.

With hitters from both sides showing strong splits in this matchup and late-inning relief unlikely to shut things down cleanly, the potential for a high-scoring affair is real. Even on a getaway day, there’s enough firepower in each lineup to push this total past the 8.5 mark. The Over is the clear play given the setup.

Spread Pick - Toronto Blue Jays, -1.5 (-143): B

Toronto enters this one bouncing back from a series sweep from the Phillies, powered by a surging middle of the order and a strong home-field mark. Arizona, in contrast, continues to flounder through a three game skid again patching its rotation in the absence of a star outfielder. The D-Backs send a typically reliable arm to the mound to face off against Toronto’s top right-hander, who has carved through opposing lineups all season. With the season almost half over and the Blue Jays clinging to Wild Card positioning, urgency and depth play strongly in their favour.

Toronto’s lineup matches up well here, especially against a bullpen Arizona may have to stretch due to matchup concerns. Add in late-inning arms that have consistently locked down leads at home, and the path to a multi-run win becomes clear. With the pitching edge and home momentum, backing the Blue Jays on the run line holds solid value.
