Blue Jays vs. Astros Predictions
Houston RHP Brandon Bielak has had a mixed season so far, showing potential while also being inconsistent at times. Having said that, he’s trending up at the moment while giving up one or fewer earned runs in three of his last four starts.
On the other hand, Toronto RHP Alek Manoah has had a challenging season, averaging 2.92 earned runs allowed per game. His current 5.46 ERA demonstrates regression from his All-Star season last year.
In his last five games, Manoah has given up an average of 3.2 earned runs per contest. Manoah has struggled to find consistency this season, and bettors should be cautious when considering his performance in the upcoming matchup.
When looking at betting trends, the Blue Jays have been performing well in recent games while winning four in a row. However, the Astros have been road warriors, going 8-3 in their last 11 road games.
On top of that, the Blue Jays have lost all six games Manoah has started this season. That trend seems likely to continue, even with the Blue Jays playing at home.
This should be a tight battle between a pair of quality teams, but we are siding with Bielak, who has better form at the moment. Take the Astros at +100 odds on Bet365.
