Blue Jays vs Marlins Preview
The first game of this series already hit the under with seven total runs, and today Jose Berrios and Janson Junk will feature in a solid pitching matchup.
Berrios has performed better on the road with a 3.48 ERA, and holds a 3.83 ERA in his previous 15 starts.
The Jays starter will face a Marlins offense that ranks 21st this season in wRC+, with a 96 rating, and has only produced 30 runs in their last eight games for an average of 3.75 runs per game.
Miami will send Junk to the mound to try to contain one of the best lineups in the majors. However, the Blue Jays have also slowed down recently, scoring 19 runs in the past five games for a 3.8 average.
This aligns with our Bet Labs recommendation for the under.
The Silent Sharp Unders system targets regular-season MLB games where both teams are performing well, yet the total has quietly dropped from open to close.
These are games featuring competent, winning teams with recent success, stable weather conditions, and closing totals in a common scoring range.
Despite both teams showing strength, the market subtly favors the under, likely due to matchup specifics, pitching, or pace factors.
By following this soft signal —when the public eye is more focused on win streaks and not totals— this system finds value in betting against inflated scoring expectations.
Pick: Under 8 (+100, BetMGM)
