In this Blue Jays vs Astros Prediction, the Astros are coming as -130 home favorites. The Astros were red-hot prior to yesterday’s loss and I don’t trust them with Hayden Wesneski going up against Trey Yesavage, who has been better on the road with a 3.60 ERA. The Blue Jays also have a better bullpen to relief him and I like them as road dogs in this spot. Take the Jays on the moneyline.
