Twins vs Blue Jays Predictions, Pick: Same-Game Parlay
NRFI
This is a great pitching matchup.
Taj Bradley is set to take the mound for Minnesota after an incredible start to his 2026 campaign, posting an impressive 1.07 ERA over his first two starts.
For the home team, future Hall-of-Fame starting pitcher Max Scherzer is on the bump, with the 41-year-old likely playing his final season.
The Blue Jays’ right-hander has gotten off to a stellar start to the year as well, allowing just two earned runs thus far through eight innings on the mound. Scherzer has also recorded an impressive 1.00 WHIP over his first two outings.
Given how elite both starting pitchers have been to start the season, I think runs may come at a premium over the first few innings of the game.
Vladimir Guerrero Over 1.5 Total Bases
While Bradley has shone in his second season in Minnesota, the same can not be said about the front-end of his career, as the righty was unbelievably volatile at the bottom of the Rays’ rotation for several years.
The Twins’ right-hander has recorded an average ERA upwards of 5.00 over his past five seasons, three of which were played in Tampa.
While Bradley has always boasted elite velocity, especially on his four-seam fastball, he still struggles with command and control.
There is no doubt that the Twins’ righty has been one of the best pitchers in all of baseball to start the season, but the Blue Jays have one of the most talented hitters in the entire MLB in their lineup.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has had 14 plate appearances against Bradley and has shelled him for seven hits, 2 RBI’s, and a home run.
I was a huge fan of Bradley entering the season as a potential sleeper for a young prospect with an impressive arsenal — particularly his high-velocity pitches.
That said, sometimes in baseball, a hitter just has your number.
