Twins vs Blue Jays Betting Preview, Picks
This is Game 3 of the series. Toronto cruised to a 10-4 victory in the opener, but Minnesota stormed back with a 7-5 comeback win in Game 2. Mickey Gasper hit his first career homer to tie the game in the ninth before Matt Wallner blasted a go-ahead two-run shot, helping the Twins snap a three-game skid.
On the mound, Simeon Woods Richardson gets the ball for Minnesota. He’ll look for support from Ryan Jeffers, who has quietly been one of baseball’s best bats against left-handed starters this season, posting a .950 OPS across 53 plate appearances.
Toronto counters with Eric Lauer, who has been one of their steadiest arms. The veteran southpaw has allowed two runs or fewer in 10 of his last 12 starts, carrying a 3.05 ERA in that stretch.
The real angle here comes from the conditions. This game fits Evan Abrams’ Weather Watch Unders system, which identifies totals inflated by recent scoring but suppressed by environmental factors. Winds are expected to blow in at Rogers Centre with mild temperatures, the exact recipe for stifling fly balls and trimming run production.
Books opened this total at a lofty 9 in response to the series’ first two games combining for 26 runs, but sharp action has leaned toward the Under as weather cues point to a quieter offensive night.
