Luis Garcia has faced the Blue Jays once in 2021. He struck out eight and allowed only three hits over six innings. The Jays have been known to chase at the plate. This is not an ideal matchup for Toronto. Kikuchi is one of their weakest starters. He has an alarming wOBA of .387 and an ERA of 5.80.

The Over is 6-2-1 in the last 9 meetings between these two teams when playing at Minute Maid Park. Alex Bregman, Yordan Alvarez, and Yuli Gurriel all have an OPS over 1,000 in 17+ at bats each versus left-handed pitcher Kikuchi. Yimi Garcia will keep Toronto in check for the majority of the game.

Alex Bregman has a career slash line of .353/.476/.706 against Yutaka Kikuchi. Brelman hit a home run on Saturday against the Blue Jays. He has six runs in 13 games and I like him to make it seven against Kikuchu.
