The Toronto Blue Jays go for the rubber match on getaway day with their best arm on the mound, as Dylan Cease faces the San Francisco Giants and their ace, Logan Webb.
Cease has been a must-watch for strikeout bettors, and a soft number this afternoon makes him the headliner of my card.
Read on for my Blue Jays vs. Giants predictions and MLB picks for this Wednesday, July 8, matchup.
Blue Jays vs Giants predictions
Blue Jays vs Giants best bet: Dylan Cease Over 6.5 strikeouts (-160)
Talk about easy money. No bet is a true lock, but Wednesday’s line on Dylan Cease’s strikeouts is lower than usual. The Over 6.5 Ks comes with a shorter -160 price, and I still see it as a very solid play.
Cease has been automatic for strikeout Overs, averaging 8.6 strikeouts per game, and the last time he finished Under 6.5 was all the way back on April 27.
Toronto fans saw the best version of Cease last time out against the Mariners, when he tossed seven shutout innings with nine strikeouts and just one walk. He’s red-hot right now, and I’d play this bet until -170.
COVERS INTEL: Dylan Cease leads the AL with 137 strikeouts, and he’s cashed the Over on 6.5 strikeouts in 11 straight games.
Blue Jays vs Giants same-game parlay (SGP)
I’m building a +300 ticket around Cease and Toronto’s steadiest bats. I’ll start with the Toronto Blue Jays moneyline, trusting Dylan Cease to out-pitch Logan Webb in the rubber match.
Ernie Clement Over 0.5 hits rides his hot streak after a three-hit night, and stacking Cease Over 6.5 strikeouts doubles down on my best bet.
I’ll finish with Vladimir Guerrero Jr. over 0.5 hits. Vladdy picked up a hit last night and is 2-for-9 lifetime off Webb with a double.
Blue Jays vs Giants SGP
- Blue Jays moneyline
- Ernie Clement Over 0.5 hits
- Dylan Cease Over 6.5 strikeouts
- Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Over 0.5 hits
Blue Jays vs Giants home run pick: Ernie Clement (+1350)
This bet is part playing the hot hand, part capitalizing on some misplaced odds. Sure, the San Francisco Giants have ace Logan Webb on the mound, but he isn’t untouchable, especially against Ernie Clement. The Blue Jays infielder is 2-for-4 lifetime off Webb with a three-run homer and four RBI in that tiny sample.
On Tuesday night, Clement racked up three hits, including a double, so he’s swinging it well. The books clearly see him as a long shot to go deep at pitcher-friendly Oracle Park, but I think there’s value. I’d play this at +1000 or longer and keep it to a quarter unit.
- Best bets: 5-1, +3.86 units
