Another exciting match is on the way between the Houston Astros (43-42) and Toronto Blue Jays (39-46) on Wednesday, July 3rd at 7:07 PM ET at Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario. The Blue Jays have another shot at success and have a moneyline at -115.
The Astros have gone 3-2 in their last five games and snapped a three-game winning streak. During the win streak, they landed nine and 10 runs in separate games before the slower start in Game 2.
They have Ronel Blanco (8-3) to start on the mound. He provided an ERA of 2.49 and a WHIP of 1.01. Their team ERA is at 4.04, so they must do their best to hold onto whatever Blanco eventually leaves them with.
Jose Altuve cracks the top 10 in the league with his batting average of .308. Kyle Tucker leads them in home runs with 19, also breaking the top-10 in the league, but could be questionable since he is on the 10-day injured reserve list.
The Astros put up an excellent ratio of numbers found at the plate. They are averaging .264 at the plate but are doing well in limiting opponents to just .234.
The Blue Jays have successfully evened this series with a 7-6 result after securing Game 2. They are now 2-3 over their latest five-game stretch and have the power to push things further in the positive direction.
Yusei Kikuchi (4-8) will offer his talents to start on the mound. He has an ERA of 4.18 and a WHIP of 1.31. Their ERA is 4.29, which is about what their starter brings to the table.
The Blue Jays have Vladimir Guerrero Jr. paving the way on offense. He leads them with 13 homers, 50 RBIs, and a .298 average at the plate. If he can continue driving home these numbers, he will push their offense along fine.
They are averaging .235 at the plate overall and allowing their opponents to stay within reach, with their average at .252. They need to find a way to swap these averages around if they want to win more games, let alone this one.
MyBookie is perfect for this MLB betting opportunity and offers the Blue Jays as the favorite. According to market analysis, the Blue Jays have a 45.6 percent probability of winning.
Despite being at home and winning Game 2, they have had some issues on the offensive and defensive ends. The Astros, on the other hand, pose a bigger threat with better starter pitching and performance at the plate.
