The Houston Astros and the Toronto Blue Jays meet Tuesday in MLB action from Rogers Centre. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best bets for this game. Here’s a Houston Astros vs. Toronto Blue Jays prediction.
The Houston Astros will send out Peter Lambert for the start here and Lambert is 6-4 with a 3.23 ERA and 58 strikeouts this season. Shane Bieber will make his season debut for Toronto here and was 4-2 with a 3.57 ERA and 37 strikeouts last season.
The Houston Astros come into this game looking to rebound from their 4-2 loss at the hands of the Blue Jays last time out to sit at 37-43 this season. After this series, the Astros will head on the road for a series against the Detroit Tigers.
Going into Monday, Yordan Alvarez has 91 hits with 15 doubles, 25 home runs and 56 RBIs while Christian Walker has 70 hits with 14 doubles, 18 home runs and 52 RBIs on the year. Jose Altuve’s chipped in 50 hits with 11 doubles, 8 home runs and 20 RBIs and Isaac Paredes has 63 hits with 14 doubles, 10 home runs and 37 RBIs. Cam Smith also has 57 hits with 12 doubles, 7 home runs and 26 RBIs.
The Toronto Blue Jays come into this game looking to add on to their win over the Astros from Monday to improve to 39-39 on the year. After this series, the Blue Jays will take on the Texas Rangers in a series at home.
Entering Monday, Andres Gimenez has 56 hits with 11 doubles, a triple, 7 home runs and 33 RBIs while Ernie Clement has 85 hits with 20 doubles, 7 home runs and 28 RBIs. Kazuma Okamoto has 62 hits with 10 doubles, 16 home runs, 45 RBIs and a team-high 99 strikeouts while George Springer also has 11 doubles and 8 homers with 21 RBIs. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has 74 hits with 12 doubles, 4 home runs and 31 RBIs as well. Jesus Sanchez also has 58 hits with 14 doubles, 7 home runs and 29 RBIs.
I’m on the Blue Jays here. I think Toronto’s just the team in better form right now, and while Lambert’s been a solid option for the Astros this season I still think he’s a lower-end option overall in baseball this season. Shane Bieber’s rehab starts were up and down but even if it’s a short outing here, I think Toronto’s bullpen can do enough to hold down the fort and end up with the win in this one. Give me Toronto.
