Soriano has gone over six innings in three of his last four starts and has had some success against the Texas Rangers, limiting them to a .247 xBA and .313 xwOBA across 83 plate appearances. He'll have to be the man to keep the season afloat.

Blue Jays vs Rangers predictions

Blue Jays vs Rangers best bet: Jose Soriano Over 17.5 Outs (-135)

Jose Soriano will need to pitch deep into the ballgame after Dylan Cease threw just 2 2/3 innings last night. With a taxed bullpen behind him and the season likely one loss away from being over, he doesn't have much choice.

The right-hander has gone over this number in three of his last four starts and has had some success against the Texas Rangers, limiting them to a .247 xBA and .313 xwOBA across 83 plate appearances. He'll have to be the man to keep the season afloat.

Play this to -140.

Covers COVERS INTEL: Soriano's elite groundball rate (53.8%) should play today, as the Rangers have grounded into the 10th-most double plays in baseball.

Blue Jays vs Rangers same-game parlay (SGP)

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has the best expected batting average (.264) against Cal Quantrill of anyone in the lineup with at least five at-bats against him; the Blue Jays will need him to show up today.

Toronto has won three of its last four games with Soriano on the mound, so let's go win a fourth and build our bankroll for the rest of the weekend.

Blue Jays vs Rangers home run pick: George Springer (+450)

George Springer has a knack for hitting homers when the Blue Jays need it most, and tonight qualifies.

Still having a great second half of the season with a .823 OPS, Springer will need to lock into Quantrill's flat cutter, as five of his 13 homers against have come off that pitch.
