Why The Rangers Could Cover The Spread

Scherzer is having a good season, but he does have a few bad starts. However, he is still one of the better pitchers in baseball. Scherzer allows opponents to hit just .223 off him this season, and he has 172 strikeouts in 147 1/3 innings pitched. One thing Scherzer has done well this season is pitch on the road as a member of the Rangers. In two road starts, Scherzer has thrown 14 innings, allowed seven hits, three runs, and struck out 16. That type of success will give the Rangers a great chance to cover this spread and continue their win streak.

Why The Blue Jays Could Cover The Spread

Ryu has been pretty good in his seven starts back. He has thrown 34 innings, he has a 2.65 ERA, 1.06 WHIP, and the Blue Jays are 5-2 when he pitches. He has gone five innings in six of those seven start, so he does not go deep into games. However, he always puts the Blue Jays in a position to win. Ryu will need to go deeper into this game, but if he keeps pitching as he has been, the Blue Jays will cover the spread.

Final Rangers-Blue Jays Prediction & Pick

I expect a very close game in this one. Both pitchers are capable of great things, and they have shown it this season. I will give the edge to the Rangers in this game. I am a huge fan of Scherzer, and I think he will have a great bounce back start in this one.

Final Rangers-Blue Jays Prediction & Pick: Rangers -1.5 (+136), Under 8.5 (-120)
