Blue Jays betting trends: George Springer’s power is back

The Toronto Blue Jays are in the playoffs. It's the first full-season playoff appearance in their history. The team has underperformed.

George Springer's power is back. He has slugged .587 with five home runs since September 13. His xSLG numbers are also good. Springer is a good value on bases and home run props. He could be useful in the RBI market for games when hitters in bottom third of Toronto's lineup have plus matchups.

Cavan Biggio's season has been in free fall since September 6. Bigio's wRC+ of 14 is the worst since he started the season. He's not a player who's regularly targeted on the prop markets. His slump affects the players who hit around him in the order.

Alek Manoah has exceeded expectations all year long. He has a 1.13 ERA over 48 innings in his last seven starts. The Blue Jays have won just three of those starts, but the under has come through five times. Manaah's outs prop is worth targeting as Toronto’s bullpen has been shaky at times and the Blue Jay's are comfortable pushing him deep into games.

Merrifield is showing his best form since his Blue Jays debut. Before that, he was terrible.

Merrifield has slashed .346/.393/.769 in his last 8 games. He's produced 30% of his 2022 home run total. Santiago Espinal's injury has allowed Merrifley to settle into an everyday role at second base. Merfiel is more effective against left-handers than right-handed hitters.
