The Detroit Tigers and the Toronto Blue Jays will play the 3rd game of the series at the Rogers Centre on Saturday. The upset the Blue Jays in the second game of the series with Alek Manoah on the mound. Willi Castro homered for the second time in two games, Victor Reyes had three hits, and the Detroit Tigers beat the Toronto Blue Jays 4-2.

Drew Hutchison (1-4, 4.84 ERA) will be on the mound for the Tigers in the 3rd game of the series. Hutchison allowed four runs on six hits across 4.1 innings and did not factor into the decision in Monday's 12-4 win over the Padres. He walked two and struck out four. He has allowed 1 run on 4 hits with 1 walk and a strikeout in 4.1 innings against the Blue Jays in his career.

Toronto Blue Jays

The team is averaging 4.89 runs per game and they're batting for .267 AVG, have 479 runs scored in 900 hits and 127 home runs, ranking #3 in offense in the league behind the LA Dodgers.

Defensively as they are allowing 4.32 runs per game and rank #17 in the league. All-Star Alek Manoah leads the team with a 2.24 ERA and 110 strikeouts recording 11 wins for the Jays.

Probable Pitcher:

Ross Stripling (5-3, 3.10 ERA) will be on the mound for the Blue Jays in the 3rd game of the series. Stripling did not factor into the decision against the Red Sox on Sunday, allowing two runs on five hits while striking out one and walking one over four innings. He has a record of 2-0 with an ERA of 0.00 and 8 strikeouts in 2 appearances versus the Tigers in his career.

BETTING TRENDS

The total has gone UNDER in 7 of Detroit's last 7 games when playing on the road against Toronto.

Detroit are 2-8 SU in their last 10 games against an opponent in the American League..

The total has gone UNDER in 11 of Toronto's last 12 games against Detroit.

Toronto Blue Jays are 5-2 SU in their last 7 games at home.

Prediction

The Blue Jays offense struggled against the Tigers bullpen and scored only 2 runs in the 2nd game of the series. They'll try to take the lead again in the series by sending Ross Stripling to the mound who has done a decent job this season and dominated the Tigers the last time, holding them to zero runs across 6 innings. The Tigers will send Drew Hutchison to start this game who has struggled this season and has allowed 4 runs in each of his last 2 starts. I expect the Blue Jays to bounce and get an easy win.

PICK: Blue Jays -1.5 (-135)
