On Friday, we’re backing the Blue Jays to get off to a winning start at home with Chris Bassitt on the mound.
Bassitt has been up and down over his past few starts; however, we love the over 17.5 outs line tonight. He’s covered this line in five out of his last eight games, but in his last outing, he was pulled in the first inning for injury precaution.
He’ll continue to use his solid pitch mix to get quick outs early and often.

We’re also backing Toronto in a game in which it faces Justin Verlander.
Simply put, Verlander has been too inconsistent to support this season.
We see the Blue Jays’ bats getting hot quickly and putting runs on the board against the Giants.
In the first game back from the All-Star break, we’re taking the home team to get the job done.
