George Springer has been at the center of Toronto's recent success, so we're riding with him as part of our Blue Jays vs. Guardians predictions.
The Toronto Blue Jays travel to take on the Cleveland Guardians as +155 underdogs at BET99 as they look to close the gap in the Wild Card race. Can Spencer Arrighetti do enough to earn a win in Game 1?
Let’s dive into my MLB picks for Tuesday, Sept. 1, and win our third consecutive same-game parlay.
Blue Jays vs Guardians predictions
Blue Jays vs Guardians best bet: George Springer 2+ hits + runs + RBI (+100)
Not only has George Springer cashed this play in four straight games, but he's also one of the hottest hitters in baseball right now, carrying a .858 OPS in August into the new month.
Since the All-Star break, Springer is slashing .323/.381/.511 and enters today with a plus matchup against Cleveland Guardians starter Gavin Williams. Across nine at-bats, Springer has recorded four hits and a double, and is rocking a .433 wOBA.
He simply can do no wrong at the plate right now, so let's ride the wave and cash another.
I'd play this to -110.
COVERS INTEL: Springer loves to see a right-handed pitcher on the mound, rocking a .767 OPS against righties while hitting 11 of his 14 homers against them this season.
Blue Jays vs Guardians same-game parlay (SGP)
Springer stood out to me in this matchup, but so did Andres Gimenez, who's 4-for-7 with two doubles against Williams in his career.
With the Toronto Blue Jays owning a .357 average and .561 xSLG against the righty, they should be able to keep this one close, or win it outright.
Blue Jays vs Guardians SGP
- Blue Jays +1.5
- George Springer 2+ hits + runs + RBI
- Andres Gimenez 1+ hits + runs + RBI

Blue Jays vs Guardians home run pick: Kazuma Okamoto (+510)
When Williams misses his spots, he gets hit hard, as evidenced by his astronomical 47.6% hard-hit rate this season. He's coughed up six homers across his last four starts, and Kazuma Okamoto is in a prime spot to capitalize off a mistake tonight.
The rookie has hit 20 of his 28 bombs against righties, and has already logged one against Williams this year. Let's ride this play with confidence at this price.
