The Toronto Blue Jays look to complete the sweep against the San Francisco Giants in today’s series finale. 

Robbie Ray gets the nod for San Fran today, and his former teammate, George Springer, has gotten the best of him throughout their careers.

My Blue Jays predictions and MLB picks for July 20 expect that trend to continue this afternoon. 

Blue Jays predictions for July 20

Today’s Blue Jays best bet: Springer cleaning

George Springer Over 1.0 hits (+110 at BetVictor)

George Springer’s renaissance season continues to roll along with a hot start out of the All-Star break.

The Toronto Blue Jays slugger has four hits through the first two games of this series, and I expect his bat to remain hot against a pitcher he’s had success against in the past.

Robbie Ray has an impressive 9-3 record with a 2.95 ERA and a 1.08 WHIP. However, Springer is hitting .358 in 17 ABs and four extra-base hits against him. 

Ray’s go-to pitch is his four-seam fastball, which he uses 51% of the time. This has resulted in a lot of hard contact with a 43.9% hard-hit rate. That bodes well for Springer, who has been barreling the baseball this season — ranking in the 90th percentile in that metric — while handling the fastball well with a .329 batting average and a .636 xSLG rate. 

Additionally, Springer has been swinging a hot bat all month long. He’s sporting a .340 average in July, with seven multi-hit games already.

Today’s Blue Jays same-game parlay (SGP)

George Springer Over 1.0 hits

George Springer Over 0.5 runs

Ernie Clement Over 1.5 total bases

I’ll continue to back Springer and take him to go Over 0.5 runs. Springer has a .407 OBP in July and has hitters behind him to bring him home, which has already resulted in 11 runs scored over his last 12 starts.

Ernie Clement is crushing left-handed pitching this season with a 1.031 OPS and a 195 sOPS+ against them.
