Atlanta Braves starter Chris Sale dominates on the mound and typically racks up the Ks.
However, Toronto Blue Jays infielder Ernie Clement is a tough out and hardly ever strikes out, making his strikeout Under a solid value play at -115 tonight.
Read on for my Blue Jays vs. Braves predictions and MLB Picks for this Thursday, June 4 matchup.
Blue Jays vs Braves predictions
Blue Jays vs Braves best bet: Ernie Clement Under 0.5 K’s (-115)
The betting market is giving Chris Sale too much credit on this prop, leaving it mispriced on the Under. Ernie Clement matches up well against Sale’s pitching profile.
The Atlanta Braves starter relies heavily on chase and swing-and-miss with his slider to generate strikeouts, but that's a difficult formula against Clement.
The Toronto Blue Jays infielder owns the highest chase rate in baseball, yet maintains a minuscule 14% whiff rate while ranking in the 99th percentile in strikeout rate at just 8%.
Moreover, the Jays' infielder has cleared his Under 0.5 strikeouts prop in seven of his last 10 outings.
I’d bet Clement under 0.5 strikeouts up to -125.
COVERS INTEL: Clement owns just a 2.5% whiff rate with zero strikeouts against the four-seamer/slider pitch types when facing left-handed pitchers. Sale owns an 80% usage rate on those pitches. 
Blue Jays vs Braves same-game parlay (SGP)
Kazuma Okamoto has never faced Sale, but profiles well against him. Okamoto crushes the fastball and slider off LHP, owning a .400 average against them with a .667 xSLG. I’ll add Over 0.5 hits for Okamoto.
For similar reasons, I’ll also add George Springer Over 0.5 hits as well. He owns a .300 average against the fastball/slider from lefties and owns a 26% hit-rate in 30 at-bats against Sale.
Blue Jays vs Braves SGP
- Ernie Clement Uner 0.5 strikeouts
- Kazuma Okamoto Over 0.5 hits
- George Springer Over 0.5 hits
Blue Jays vs Braves home run pick: Kazuma Okamoto (+405)
Sale keeps the ball in the yard, so we’ll make this just a half-unit wager.
However, if there’s one Bluejay who profiles well enough to do damage tonight, it's Okamoto.
Okamoto owns a .400 average with a 65% hard hit rate against the four-seamer/slider combination, which has a 80% usage rate with those pitches.
Additionally, he’s one of the only Bluejays hitting with Power on a consistent basis, ranking in the 96th percentile in hard-hit rate, which has led to a team lead of 13 home runs in 2026.
