We’ve got a busy betting slate around Major League Baseball tonight, including an afternoon affair between the Toronto Blue Jays and the Miami Marlins.

George Springer has been nearly automatic on his runs scored prop recently, and I anticipate him crossing home plate once again this afternoon.

Blue Jays predictions for August 24

Today’s Blue Jays best bet: TEASER

George Springer Over 0.5 runs (-125 at BetVictor)

The Toronto Blue Jays look to complete the sweep of the Marlins this afternoon.

It’ll be Kevin Gausman on the mound for Toronto, while Miami responds with the suddenly struggling Eury Perez

The Marlins right-hander has seen his ERA climb from 2.70 to 3.48 over his last three starts after allowing 12 runs, including five homers and six walks. 

He’s been off his mark recently, and that could spell trouble against this potent Jays lineup. 

Enter George Springer, who’s been crushing the overs on his runs scored prop, scoring at least one run in 15 of his last 16 outings with 21 runs scored in total. This is largely due to his impressive .467 OBP over that stretch.

Springer is also a good fastball hitter, with a .281 xBA and a .619 xSLG against the four-seamer, which is the pitch that Perez uses 52% of the time and gives up a lot of hard contact with. 

Springer should be able to get on base and find his way home with the way Perez has been pitching, coupled with the strength of the Jays’  lineup hitting behind him. 

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

Springer Over 0.5 runs

Springer Over 1.5 bases

Varsho Over 0.5 RBI

For the second leg of the SGP, I’ll continue to back Springer and take the Over of 1.5 total bases. Springer has a .928 OPS against right-handers, and has gone Over this number in three of his last four outings. 

For the final leg, let’s take Daulton Varsho to go Over 0.5 RBI. The first four Blue Jays in the lineup are consistently getting on base, making way for Varsho to cash them in. Varsho sits in the five-hole and owns a .995 OPS against righties this season, with all 22 of his extra base hits coming off them.
