Rangers vs Blue Jays Prediction, Betting Analysis
The Patrick Corbin renaissance has hit a snag recently.
The Rangers lefty has been knocked around in both of his August starts, allowing six earned runs over seven and 1/3 innings pitched.
The veteran has just four strikeouts this month in two starts, although the matchups were imposing (Yankees, Phillies), but he gets another tough spot here.
Toronto has the lowest strikeout rate in the league vs. left-handed pitchers since the start of June, and they’re fifth in wRC+.
Pick: Patrick Corbin Under 3.5 Strikeouts (-115, DraftKings)
