Jack's Free Pick Friday: Guardians/Blue Jays UNDER 8.5
The Cleveland Guardians have been held to 3 runs or fewer in seven of their last nine games overall. The Toronto Blue Jays have been held to 4 runs or fewer in 12 of their last 15 games overall. Runs will be hard to come by for both struggling offenses against these two starting pitchers tonight.
Tanner Bibee is 9-3 with a 3.01 ERA and 1.205 WHIP in 20 starts for the Guardians this season and has been one of the most underrated starters in baseball. Bibee fired 7 shutout innings in a 1-0 victory over the Blue Jays on August 8th in his lone career start against them.
Chris Bassitt has been great at home this season at 6-2 with a 2.83 ERA and 0.930 WHIP in 12 home starts for the Blue Jays. Bassitt has posted a 3.30 ERA and 1.167 WHIP in five career starts against Cleveland. He fired 6 shutout innings in his last start against the Guardians.
Bassitt is 7-0 UNDER as a favorite of -125 to -175 this season. The UNDER is 13-3 in Bassitt's night starts this season. The UNDER is 29-14 in Blue Jays last 43 games overall. Toronto is 10-0 UNDER in its last 10 games vs. poor power teams averaging 0.75 or fewer homers per game. The UNDER is 4-0 in four meetings between these teams in 2023 with 1, 1, 4 and 7 combined runs. Bet the UNDER in this game Friday.
