Here are my free MLB picks for Friday, Sept. 25.
Reds vs Blue Jays predictions
Reds vs Blue Jays best bet: Toronto Blue Jays Moneyline (-135)
I'm comfortably fading Nick Lodolo in this spot, who's having one of the worst seasons of his five-year career. Lodolo owns the highest xERA (6.42), xSLG (.486), xBA (.293) since breaking into the league in 2022, and has coughed up three or more earned runs in five of his last six starts.
Jose Soriano will be making his final start at home and limited this team to a seven-inning, two-hit, 10-strikeout shutout earlier this year while he was still with the Los Angeles Angels.
The Toronto Blue Jays may be limping to the finish line, but should be able to give the crowd something to cheer about today
I'd play this to -140.
COVERS INTEL: The Reds ground into the second-most double plays per game (0.53) in Major League Baseball, which should play into Soriano's elite groundball rate (53.5%).
Reds vs Blue Jays same-game parlay (SGP)
On top of having the worst season of his career, Lodolo's strikeout numbers are also incredibly low, punching out hitters at just a 17% clip.
This leads to balls in play, runners, and, ultimately, runs. Enter George Springer, who is likely playing in his final games as a Blue Jay. Expect him to have himself a series in what should be an emotional exit.

Reds vs Blue Jays home run pick: George Springer (+475)
Springer loves lefties, and he mashes at home, owning a .813 OPS at the Rogers Centre this season. With his emotional exit incoming, expect him to lock in for the final series.
Lodolo is the perfect guy to tee off on, coming in with a .486 xSLG against. Bombs away for the Blue Jays tonight.
