Toronto -1½ -105 over St. Louis
7:10 PM EST. The Blue Jays are hot with six wins in a row and their bats are even hotter. Toronto is now 30-19 at home this year and they’ll face a Cardinals’ team that has had nothing but misery playing American League East teams. Furthermore, unvaccinated sluggers Paul Goldschmidt and Nolan Arenado are absent from the two-game series, which puts the Cardinals at a huge disadvantage.
Andre Pallante (RHP - St. L) is batting practice out there. Every ball is hit hard and so it’s a matter of where the Jays are hitting them that is going to decide his fate. Pallante has a lousy 47 K’s in 70 innings with 26 walks issued to go along with his puny swing & miss rate of 7.3%.
José Berríos (RHP - TOR) has elevated his skills to a 3.66 xERA over his last eight starts after a rough start to the season. While his stats have inflicted a lot of damage (5.22 ERA, 1.36 WHIP in 102 IP), he is pumping plenty of strikes (71% first-pitch strikes, 32% Ball%). Almost all of that damage came early in the year, and his monthly xERA confirms that he is on the right track now.
