There’s nothing like a trip to Coors Field to get your offense back in the swing of things, and the Toronto Blue Jays sure did that against the Colorado Rockies on Monday.
The Blue Jays exploded for 15 runs, and they’ll look to keep bashing baseballs in Game 2 tonight. And one player who needed the Coors boost was Daulton Varsho.
My Blue Jays predictions and MLB picks break down why the Gold Glove center fielder will stay on the upswing on Tuesday, August 5.

Today’s Blue Jays best bet: It's Var-showtime, folks!
Daulton Varsho Over 1.5 Total Bases (-105 at BetVictor)
What a night from the Toronto Blue Jays’ offense. Every single player in the starting lineup except Vladimir Guerrero Jr. had multiple hits last night (and I’m still sick about that), on their way to a 15-1 win over the Colorado Rockies.
That includes Daulton Varsho collecting his first hits since the end of May. The Blue Jays' Gold Glove centerfielder had been out since June 1 with a hamstring injury before returning to action for the final two games of the series against the Kansas City Royals.
You could tell Varsho was still trying to find his timing at the dish in those first two games, going 0-for-6 with four strikeouts. But it sure looked like he found that timing in Denver, going 2-for-5 with four RBI while hitting his ninth home run of the season.
Varsho has never hit for a high batting average, but his slugging ways play well in Coors Field's thin air.
The Rockies have called up Anthony Molina to make a spot start tonight. The 23-year-old right-hander has allowed seven earned runs on 13 hits, including three home runs, in just 8 2/3 innings of work.
Molina hasn’t pitched more than two innings this season, so three is probably his ceiling before handing the ball to a bullpen that ranks 29th in ERA, opponent batting average, and strikeout rate.
Give me Varsho to get into another one tonight and go Over his total bases.
Today’s Blue Jays same-game parlay (SGP)
Daulton Varsho Over 1.5 total bases
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Over 0.5 RBI
Bo Bichette Over 1.5 hits
Guerrero burned us last night by being the only guy in the starting lineup with just one hit. But he’s still the team's best hitter, and there will be a lot of baserunners again tonight.
And there’s no one hotter in the Blue Jays lineup than Bo Bichette. He’s hitting .385 with a 1.024 OPS since the All-Star break and has multiple hits in three of his last games overall. After hitting about 850 feet of home runs last night, he's got another multi-hit game in him tonight.
