Tigers at Blue Jays - MLB Picks & Predictions

The Detroit Tigers play the third game of a four-game series on the road Saturday against the Toronto Blue Jays. The Tigers won their opening day game on Thursday 2-0 over the Blue Jays. Jordan Zimmerman was perfect on the mound for Detroit into the seventh into but did not factor in the decision as the game was decided in the 10th inning with a two-run home run by Christian Stewart.

Toronto’s Teoscar Hernandez broke up Jordan Zimmerman’s perfect game with a single in the seventh inning, but was stranded as Zimmerman did not allow another hit in the inning. Daniel Hudson took the loss for Toronto after giving up a double to Niko Goodrum and Stewart’s two run shot. Nicholas Castellanos leads the Tigers with a .333 batting average. Christian Stewart is the team leader in home runs with one and in RBIs with two. Detroit is averaging .125 at the plate, while opponents are averaging .063. On Saturday, the Tigers will send Spencer Turnbull to the mound. The right-hander in 2018 was 0-2 with an ERA of 6.06, 15 Ks and 4 BBs.

Toronto managed just two hits on opening day and Brandon Drury and Teoscar Hernandez lead the Blue Jays with batting averages of .250. The Blue Jays are averaging .063 at the plate, while opponents are averaging .125. On Saturday, Toronto will send Aaron Sanchez to the plate. The right-hander in 2018 was 4-6 with an ERA of 4.89, 86 Ks and 58 BBs.

Take the UNDER here. The UNDER has cashed in 4 of the last 5 meetings between the two overall and 4 of the last 5 between the two in Toronto. Opening day cashed UNDER in Detroit’s 2-0 win. The UNDER has also cashed in each of Toronto’s last 6 at home and each of Toronto’s last 4 at home versus a right-handed starter. Final Score Prediction, Toronto Blue Jays win, but our best play is UNDER 5-1.
