The Toronto Blue Jays need offence to avoid a sweep at the hands of the Milwaukee Brewers this afternoon, and my Blue Jays predictions back George Springer’s bat to provide a spark.
Find out why in my MLB picks for this August 31 matchup at Rogers Centre.

Today’s Blue Jays best bet: Springing forward
George Springer Over 1.5 total bases (-105 at BetVictor)
Righty Brandon Woodruff is on the mound for Milwaukee, and he primarily has a three-pitch repertoire, with the four-seamer and sinker making up 64% of his pitches.
Enter George Springer.
Springer has crushed right-handed pitching this season with a .965 OPS, with 35 of his 43 extra-base hits coming against righties. He also owns a .301 xBA against the four-seamer and .429 xBA against the sinker, which works just fine for us.
Additionally, the Jays slugger has been one of the few Toronto bats providing offence in the lineup, hitting .400 over his last 10 outings with a 1.232 OPS — averaging 3.1 bases per game over that stretch.
Today’s Blue Jays same-game parlay (SGP)
George Springer Over 1.5 total bases
Max Scherzer Under 2.5 earned runs
Max Scherzer Over 5.5 strikeouts
Max Scherzer has allowed Under 2.5 runs in four of his last five starts, averaging 1.8 per game. Toronto’s starting rotation has also held the Brewers' bats in check in this series, giving up just three runs through the first two games. I expect Scherzer to keep Milwaukee in check as well.
For the final leg, I’ll continue to bet on Scherzer and take the Over of 5.5 strikeouts. This is a fade play on the Brewers, who have struck out 21 times already in this series, with both pitchers hitting the Over in their strikeout prop.
