Blue Jays betting trends: Be careful tailing Lourdes Gurriel Jr.

The Toronto Blue Jays have lost nine of their last 10 games. The team is struggling with injuries to Kevin Gausman and Yusei Kikuchi. Yimi Garcia has helped the bullpen, but the team's lineup is still struggling. Toronto's next series against the Philadelphia Phillies starts on July 12.

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. has been on a hot streak recently. He's hit .362/.410/.520 in the last 30 days. His current hot stretch is driven by a .436 BABIP. Gurelier doesn't make sense as a player on home runs, he has just five all season and his position in a lineup limits his potential.

George Springer has struggled to score runs since the beginning of June. He's been injured since June 21. The Blue Jays scored third-most runs in the league during that time. Springer is priced aggressively on prop markets.   He might be a player to put in your wait-and-see bucket.

Jose Berrios has a 5.22 ERA over his last seven starts compared to 5:44 on the season. Berrio has given Toronto five strong starts with at least five innings pitched and an in-game ERA below 4.00. He's accumulated more strikeouts (35) than innings (33) in those outings.

Bo Bichette has been struggling at the plate recently. He's hit .246/.275/.381 since June 11. His power numbers are the worst since he broke into the majors.

Santiago Espinal has hit .316/.331/.421 with 18 hits in his last 15 games. He's doing an amazing job of putting the ball in play. Espina has been good against southpaws this season and in the career as a whole.
