Toronto Blue Jays
Moneyline Pick - Cleveland Guardians (+115): B

Cleveland enters Toronto with momentum on its side, riding fine form but dropping the first game of the series while the Blue Jays have come in with three consecutive wins but are short key contributors in both the rotation and bullpen. The Guardians’ starting pitching has been generally sharp away from home, particularly in this matchup, and Toronto’s offense has struggled to capitalize in recent head-to-heads. Even with a notable absence in Cleveland’s lineup, the visitors have found ways to generate early offense and limit damage late.

With form, depth, and pitching angles leaning toward the road team, this one offers solid value at plus money. The Guardians have been the more composed and consistent club in recent outings, and that steadiness earns this pick a “B” grade—slightly risky, but backed by enough indicators to be worth the shot.

Over/Under Pick - Under 8, (-110): B

The Guardians head into Toronto riding a fine run of form, while the Blue Jays are looking to keep their three-game run going. Both teams turn to usually strong starting arms in hopes of shaping the series early, with each rotation piece showing solid command against their opponent’s typical strengths. Offensive firepower is slightly muted on both sides due to lingering injuries, which further levels the matchup and emphasizes pitching and bullpen execution.

With a controlled environment under the dome and both bullpens performing near the top of the league recently, the conditions lean heavily toward a low-scoring affair. While it may not be the flashiest play, the under on eight total runs earns a confident “B” grade—quiet value built on sharp pitching, shortened lineups, and tightened game plans.

Spread Pick - Toronto Blue Jays, -1.5 (-158): B

Toronto’s recent momentum, winning three straight, contrasts sharply with a Cleveland squad trying to return to their winning ways. The Blue Jays return to nearly full strength with key contributors back in the mix, while the Guardians remain shorthanded on offense. Matchup history favors Toronto’s projected starter, and their outfield defense could neutralize a Cleveland lineup that tends to put the ball on the ground more than most.

With the Rogers Centre roof expected to stay closed—boosting the home team’s power potential—and both bullpens coming in fresh, Toronto is well-positioned to cover the run line. The price may be steep, but the setup points to control on both sides of the ball, giving the play a steady “B” grade: reliable edge, just don’t expect a blowout.
