How can you not love Kazuma Okamoto? He's featured in my Tigers vs. Blue Jays prediction after hitting his 33rd bomb of the season last night.
The Toronto Blue Jays host the Detroit Tigers at the Rogers Centre (7:07 p.m. ET) as -140 favorites and need to play their best ball down the stretch as they cling to life in the wild-card race.
Let’s dive into my MLB picks for Tuesday, Sept. 15.
Tigers vs Blue Jays predictions
Tigers vs Blue Jays best bet: Kazuma Okamoto 2+ H/R/RBI (+105)
Kazuma Okamoto has been playing the best baseball of his rookie season with the Toronto Blue Jays' playoff dreams hanging in the balance. Over his last 30 games, Okamoto is slashing .280/.361/.617 (.977 OPS) with nine homers and 18 RBI, cashing this play in five of his last seven games.
His 13.9% barrel rate is in the 91st percentile across all qualified hitters this season, too. Suffice it to say, he should run into one today against a contact pitcher like Drew Anderson. He's simply the hottest hitter in this lineup, and we're riding with him as a result.
I'd play this up to +100 with BET99.
COVERS INTEL: Just how hot is Okamoto this month? His 1.115 OPS and five homers in September are absolutely absurd, and his 10 RBI are already more than he registered in August.
Tigers vs Blue Jays same-game parlay (SGP)
We already know how great Okamoto has been in September, but what about George Springer? The answer is that he continues to rake since the All-Star break, owning an .848 OPS since the midway point of the season. It helps that he's actually better against righties, hitting .272 with a .782 OPS against them this year. Let's see two big games from these guys, with a Blue Jays win tacked on.

Tigers vs Blue Jays home run pick: Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (+600)
Can you imagine getting +600 on Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to hit a home run just a year ago? Of course he's deserving of that price now, but after hitting his first bomb at home two nights ago, I'm going back to the well.
He's just one game removed from a 4-for-5 performance at the dish, and with the Blue Jays' season on the brink, look for him to get to Anderson — his 8.4% barrel rate is among the worst in baseball.
