Kenny G said the Blue Jays are a no-brainer at +100 because Detroit’s flaws outweigh Max Scherzer’s early rust. Scherzer owns a 5.14 ERA after just two starts, but Kenny expects the 40-year-old to be "serviceable" against a Tigers lineup that has scored 1, 2, 4, 1, 5 and 0 runs in its last six games and ranks 25th in MLB slugging. Toronto’s bullpen (3.53 ERA) is elite compared with Detroit’s 4.18 mark, which ballooned again after Saturday’s meltdown. Offensively, the Jays are on fire—run totals of 6, 6, 11, 8, 4, 4 and 8—and sit first in batting average and seventh in OBP and runs scored. Jack Flaherty is 5-10 with a 4.77 ERA, and the Tigers are 1-4 in his last five starts. Detroit has dropped six straight overall, while Toronto has won four straight and owns a 63-42 record with a 6.5-game AL East cushion. Kenny’s takeaway: Scherzer merely needs to keep it close before the Jays’ bats or bullpen bury a reeling Detroit club, making the plus-money moneyline "insane" value.

Cash Out Sports Picks took a swing on Detroit, noting the Tigers’ strong 32-21 home record and Max Scherzer’s recent wobble for Toronto (seven earned and 10 hits in his last 11 innings). Jack Flaherty has yielded three earned runs in three of his past five, but the tout expects added motivation facing his former club and believes Detroit will fight to halt its skid. With Toronto only 26-25 on the road and the price inflated for Scherzer’s name value, the Tigers were labeled the value side.

B Wade backed Bo Bichette to eclipse 1.5 hits + runs + RBIs against Detroit. Bichette has gone over that number in seven of his last eight contests and has missed only once in his last eight meetings with the Yankees, showing a sustained heater. Versus Sunday starter Jack Flaherty he is 4-for-10 lifetime, solid contact that pairs with Bichette’s preference for right-handed pitching. Wade emphasized that Bichette has cleared this prop in 64 percent of his outings versus Detroit overall, making the play a statistically-driven, form-plus-matchup backing.

Martin is sticking with Toronto to complete the series because Detroit’s Jack Flaherty looks overmatched against the league’s hottest offense. Toronto ranks first in MLB in wRC+ over the past one and two-week windows and has been piling up wins, while Flaherty owns a near-5.00 ERA, is 0-4 in his last four decisions, and is walking too many hitters. Even though 40-year-old Max Scherzer is still building up after injury, Martin noted he has gone five and six innings in his last two starts and the Jays possess the bullpen edge. All arrows point to Toronto.

Kenny G advised grabbing Toronto at a juicy +170 number, calling the Jays his “dog of the day.” He pointed to Kevin Gausman’s current groove—seven shut-out innings of one-run ball versus New York in his last start and a 4-1 team record over his past five outings. Toronto’s top-six bullpen and a lineup that has posted run totals of 6-11-8-4-4-8-6 during the recent surge give Gausman plenty of margin. On the Detroit side, Tarik Skubal is on baby-watch and even if he starts, Kenny doubts he goes deep; the Tigers’ pen owns a 4.08 ERA and has been “imploding.” Detroit’s bats have gone ice cold (2-4-1-5-0 runs last five) and the club has dropped five straight. With Toronto first in batting average and OBP while Detroit ranks mid-pack, Kenny believes the underdog price is mis-hung and is willing to fade the Tigers’ –205 tag despite their 32-18 home record. He leans over 7 but the primary play is Jays moneyline.

The Bettor Mark made Toronto his first official wager, dividing one unit between Blue Jays +1.5 (-130) and Blue Jays +166 on the moneyline in Detroit. He explained that Toronto surprisingly grades out as MLB’s No. 2 offense over the last seven days, while Detroit’s only path to victory lately is when Tarik Skubal pitches. Although Mark respects Skubal and expects he may surrender just one or two runs, he trusts Kevin Gausman (7-7, 3.77 ERA) to match him and believes the Tigers’ bullpen will eventually crack. The half-unit ‘Asian handicap’ approach lets him profit if Toronto merely keeps it within one run while still capturing the big upside of an outright win.

Cash Out Sports Picks took the Tigers money line, noting Detroit’s energized offense at Comerica and Toronto’s trouble cashing runners — the Jays ground into more double plays than nearly any club and remain mediocre in RISP conversion. With Detroit swinging well and owning a 60-44 record, the tout trusts their bats to exploit those Blue Jay inefficiencies Saturday night.

Scott Reichel advised laying the short price with the Blue Jays, noting that Detroit’s bats have completely flat-lined while Toronto continues to grind out quality plate appearances. The Tigers have scored three or fewer in eight of their last ten and were "absolutely destroyed by Bailey Falter," a sign of how cold the lineup is. Even though Jose Berrios has surrendered four-plus earned in three of his last four starts, Reichel trusts Toronto’s on-base chops (top-10 in pitches per plate appearance and walk rate) to give Berrios a cushion and eventually wear down a Detroit bullpen that has been forced into early duty by short outings from Kenta Maeda and others. With Cleveland inching closer in the division race, he thinks the pressure sits squarely on Detroit, making the Blue Jays a buy at anything up to –130 on the moneyline.

Kenny G jumped on the Blue Jays at the even-money price of –110, calling it a gift against a Detroit club mired in a 1-10 slide. He admitted Jose Berrios has wobbled (4 ER in three of his last four outings, 3.87 season ERA) but trusts Toronto’s elite bullpen (3.50 ERA) and a lineup that’s gone 11-8-4-4-8-6-4 while ranking 9th in runs, 1st in average and 2nd in OBP. Tigers rookie Keider Montero owns a 4.28 ERA and just surrendered four runs in 4.1 IP at Texas; he now faces MLB’s hottest offense with a Detroit pen that has cratered "down the stretch." Detroit’s bats are equally cold, losing four straight and scoring more than four runs only once in their last eleven. With the market treating it as a coin flip, Kenny thinks the clearly superior roster is on sale and locked in Toronto –110 as a full-unit play.

It's The Final Round spotlighted George Springer despite the right-on-right matchup with Keider Montero. Springer is on a tear, slashing .431/.500/.725 against RHP over the last month and .423 with 11 hits and eight runs in the past week. More importantly, his tiny but perfect history versus Montero is 3-for-3 with two home runs and a double—every plate appearance an extra-base hit. While Montero limits righties to a respectable .243 AVG overall, Outlier still assigns Springer a 78 % hit probability, 55 % chance to score, 45 % RBI, 40 % extra-base hit, and 10-12 fantasy points. The tout suggests riding Springer's total bases or HR prop and locking him into DFS stacks with the scorching Blue Jays lineup.

It's The Final Round recommended Addison Barger as the Blue Jays’ left-handed bat to exploit Tigers righty Keider Montero. Montero is coughing up a .292 AVG to lefties on the season and .290 over his last two outings, while Toronto’s offense is red-hot after an 11-run explosion Thursday. Barger has punished right-handers for a .329 AVG and five homers in the past month; since the All-Star break he’s 10-for-26 (.385) with one homer, six RBIs, and five runs in seven games. The Outlier model gives him a 75 % chance for a hit, 45 % to score, 40 % RBI probability, and projects 9-11 fantasy points. With park and lineup context favorable, the tout sees Barger as a solid over 1.5 TB/Total Bases prop and a mid-tier DFS salary saver.

Cash Out Sports Picks took Toronto on the moneyline behind Jose Berrios and the club’s current surge. Despite a wobbly patch earlier in July, Berrios still carries a 3.34 ERA and is holding opponents to a .231 average over 56.2 road innings. Detroit, meanwhile, has cratered since the break: starter Antonio Montero owns a 4.28 ERA and 1.38 WHIP and was tagged for nine hits and seven runs in his last 7.1 frames. The Blue Jays have won six straight, while the Tigers’ offense has gone silent, making Toronto the clear side in the tout’s view.

Brad PickDawgz advised betting the Blue Jays moneyline in Game 2 of the series at Detroit on July 25. Despite Jose Berrios carrying a 5.19 ERA over his last five starts, Brad noted Toronto keeps winning behind him thanks to consistent run support: an 8-6 victory over San Francisco when Berrios allowed four earned and an 11-9 win against the Yankees after he was tagged for six. He contrasted that with Detroit’s current woes at the plate and the Tigers’ decision to send Cater Montero—fresh off surrendering four runs and a homer to Texas on July 19—to the mound. Montero missed most of June with injuries and has historically been a pitcher Brad prefers to fade. Given Toronto’s hotter recent form and what he considers the better starting-pitcher matchup, Brad’s actionable recommendation is to back the Blue Jays and continue fading the struggling Tigers.
