Blue Jays vs Astros

Nick Shlain previews Friday's MLB game between the Blue Jays and Astros, including betting odds and a prediction.

I like the Astros to prevail in this one. Springer’s availability will be something to watch leading up to this game because Toronto’s lineup is a lot weaker without both he and Hernandez. However, there’s also the possibility that he’s hampered by the injury. Verlander’s 39-years-old but is showing no signs of slowing down early in his return from Tommy John surgery. Even without Altuve, the Houston lineup has the upper hand against Stripling at home. In Ryu’s place, Ross Stripling (4.80 ERA in 101.1 innings pitched last year) will get the start. Blue Jays vs.

The injury occurred at the top of the sixth inning on Wednesday, when Springer took a pitch to the forearm/elbow area from reliever Phillips Valdez. He initially remained in the game as a base runner but was replaced by Bradley Zimmer. Toronto Blue Jays slugger George Springer will not start Friday night against the Houston Astros, but is available to pinch hit and play the field off the bench, according to Sportsnet's Arden Zwelling.

While Toronto manages just 1.86 runs per game in the first five when playing on the road. Then he hands the ball to a bullpen that has the fifth-best ERA so far this season. Houston should definitely be favoured with Verlander on the hill, but definitely not by this much. He looked great in his first start this season and he now faces an Astros lineup that will be without Jose Altuve and has been really struggling with its timing early in the season. Our best bet is our favorite pick across all markets. The Under is 4-0 in the Blue Jays’ last four games overall and 5-1-1 in the Astros’ last seven.

Stripling threw four shutout innings against the A’s, allowing just two hits and striking out three on 62 pitches. Article content Article content Article content Article content
