It's the last game of the season, and potentially Max Scherzer's last start of his career, and we're riding with him in our Reds vs. Blue Jays predictions.
The Toronto Blue Jays host the Cincinnati Reds as -175 betting favorites at BET99 to cap off a disappointing season.
Here are my free MLB picks for Sunday, Sept. 27.
Reds vs Blue Jays predictions
Reds vs Blue Jays best bet: Max Scherzer 6+ Strikeouts (-105)
In potentially his last start before retirement, it only makes sense to ride with the legend that is Max Scherzer.
It helps that veteran has absolutely dominated this Cincinnati Reds lineup, striking them out at a 35% clip, which includes 10 punchouts of Eugenio Suarez. Not bad if you ask me.
Coming off a seven-strikeout performance, I'm expecting Scherzer to go over this number one more time in the emotional end to an outstanding career.
I'd play this up to -115.
COVERS INTEL: In Scherzer's slider we trust today - it owns a 28% whiff percentage and is his best putaway pitch; we should be seeing some strikeouts today as a result.
Reds vs Blue Jays same-game parlay (SGP)
Expect the Toronto Blue Jays to help Scherzer with his storybook ending and for Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to step up against a struggling pitcher after a disappointing season.
Brandon Williamson's 5.88 xERA leaves a lot to be desired, and the Jays should be able to tee off at home in the final game of the regular season.
Reds vs Blue Jays SGP
- Toronto Blue Jays moneyline
- Max Scherzer 6+ strikeouts
- Vladimir Guerrero Jr. 2+ H/R/RBI

Reds vs Blue Jays home run pick: Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (+375)
In a year where Vladdy struggled for power at home, it would be a fitting end for him to go yard to end the regular season.
Williamson's .467 xSLG is among the worst in baseball and suggests we'll be seeing some loud contact from the Blue Jays today.
Why not Vladdy? Let's ride with Toronto's franchise player one last time.
