Guardians vs Blue Jays Preview, Prop Picks

[subheader sizedown=”true” center=”false” text=”Blue Jays Betting Preview & Prop Picks” logo1url=”https://static.sprtactn.co/teamlogos/mlb/100/tor.png” link1=”https://www.actionnetwork.com/mlb/odds/toronto-blue-jays” link1follow=“false”][/subheader]

By Chris Prince

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is starting to heat up and he is one of my favorite bats of the night against Guardians left-hander Logan Allen.

We are getting a very solid price for Guerrero to go over 1.5 total bases at -105. He has a strong history against left-handed pitching, boasting a .399 wOBA and .239 ISO since the start of last season.

Guerrero has a solid .280 ISO against lefties this season along with a strong 68.4% hard-contact rate.

Allen was awful against righties in 2024, coughing up a .407 wOBA and .268 ISO; while he has shown some improvement this year, I’m simply not buying in and he’s still allowing a 46.2% hard contact rate and the BABIP for righties is just .266.

Pick: Vladimir Guerrero Jr Over 1.5 Total Bases (-105; DraftKings)

By Prop Model

The strikeouts prop for Chris Bassitt looks like a strong wager based on the current data. The line of 5.5 compares favorably based on our MLB simulations. The prop projects to hit 66.08% of the time based on the assumptions, and that represents a 11.12% edge.

Pick: Chris Bassitt Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-122; FanDuel)
