On Canada Day, the Toronto Blue Jays will be hosting the Houston Astros for the start of a four-game series. We are providing player props for the Astros vs. Blue Jays game based on the top MLB odds.

The Blue Jays ended a four-game series with the New York Yankees by splitting the games. However, they have not won any of their last four series, losing two and splitting two.

Houston has a record of 12-4 in their last 16 games and recently won two out of three games against the New York Mets over the weekend. This came after their seven-game winning streak was ended in the series opener. Beating the Mets was a significant achievement, as they had won 16 of their last 21 games before the series finale.

Astros vs. Blue Jays expert picks

Hunter Brown to record a win ⭐⭐⭐

Astros pitcher Brown has been outstanding in June and is a strong candidate for AL Pitcher of the Month. He has a 1.22 ERA and 0.89 WHIP with a 45:8 K:BB ratio over his last six starts since May 28. Brown’s 1.16 ERA in June is the best among qualified starters, and his 2.96 FIP ranks in the top 17 for the month. He is eighth in whiffs induced over his last 300 pitches and has only allowed one barrel in that span.

He has had a quality start in each of his past six appearances, indicating that he will probably be relied upon heavily again, especially after Houston used seven relievers in a bullpen game during Sunday’s series finale against the Mets.

Houston has taken advantage of playing teams with losing records this season, posting a 29-19 record against opponents under .500 and a 13-22 record against teams above .500. In his last four starts, the Astros have outscored their opponents 19-4, with the pitcher earning the win in each game. This strong performance makes him a three-star play as he looks to continue this winning streak.

Justin Turner Over 0.5 singles ⭐⭐⭐

Blue Jays slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has been on fire in the last two weeks, but with him out of Sunday’s game due to a hand injury, other Blue Jays hitters will need to step up. It’s likely that Turner will be the one to do so, even though he has struggled against right-handed pitchers this year with a .230/.351/.345 slash line.

Turner is on a hot streak, with hits in seven consecutive games and 10 of his last 11, boosting his batting average by 19 points. He had extra-base hits in two of the three games against the Yankees and has a .452 xSLG against fastballs. With odds at +100, it’s a good bet that Turner will get at least one single today. The Over 0.5 for his total bases prop is heavily favored at -182.

Top odds: +100 at Betway

Yordan Alvarez Over 0.5 RBIs ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Astros hitter Alvarez has gone six straight games without an RBI, but that streak is expected to end soon. The left-handed slugger has been on fire lately, hitting .368/.478/.526 in the past week leading up to Sunday’s game. Alvarez has been consistently performing well, with a batting average of .351 over the last 15 days and .356 over the last 30 days.

He ended June with a 1.139 OPS and is projected to perform well against Blue Jays rookie Yariel Rodriguez, who has a .333 OBA in his first two home starts. Alvarez has a .303 batting average against fastballs this season, a pitch that Rodriguez throws 40.9% of the time to left-handed batters.

Mike started in the sports writing industry in July 2019, and gained a lot of followers in his first year after finishing with the No. 2 overall record in an annual NFL betting competition, which made picks against the spread, and from an Over/Under and moneyline perspective. Mike is an avid fan of the NFL, MLB, tennis, and all college sports. In his opinion, March Madness is the best sporting event there is, and he’s especially euphoric starting with conference tournament time in college basketball. Mike’s a big advocate of “fading the public” and making plays that are contrarian, constantly citing that “there are reasons why they have those big shiny buildings in Las Vegas.” When making wagers, Mike always scours the best odds at all of the major sports betting sites, where he mostly sifts through DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, and bet365. He’s tried several others and is of the firm belief that bettors should not just stick to one sportsbook, as there is always likely better value to be had with the same wager. In addition, while Mike received his undergraduate degree from Villanova University, he has no issue betting against the Wildcats when it comes to college basketball wagering, and suggests other bettors should always put their “head” before their “hearts.”
