Team Analysis
Toronto Blue Jays
The Blue Jays are 2-3 in their last five games, averaging 3.8 runs per outing, which shows some inconsistency despite a strong 75-54 overall record. Away from home they sit at an even 33-33, but the combination of Bo Bichette’s steady production and Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s power threat gives them a reliable offensive core. Their 6-4 mark in the last ten games reinforces that this team manages to string together enough consistent performances to stay above water even when scoring dips.
George Springer adds another layer of balance to this lineup, ensuring that Toronto’s offense rarely collapses completely. Their pitching staff has carried a 4.22 ERA with a 1.27 WHIP, numbers that keep them competitive in lower-scoring environments. With a recent 4.7 RPG average across the last ten contests, Toronto’s attack is capable of stretching leads when needed, giving them a decisive edge over Miami Marlins’ less consistent scoring output.
- Batting Average: 0.267
- Total Runs Scored: 625

- OBP: 0.337

- ERA: 4.22
- WHIP: 1.27
Away Record: 33-33 • Home Record: 42-21
Last 5 Games: 2-3 (3.8 RPG)
Last 10 Games: 6-4 (4.7 RPG)
Miami Marlins
The Marlins are 2-3 in their last five games and just 3-7 across their last ten, averaging 4.0 runs per game over the shorter stretch. Despite Kyle Stowers providing power with 25 home runs, the rest of the lineup lacks consistency, with Agustin Ramirez and Otto Lopez struggling to sustain run production. Their 29-34 home record makes clear that this team has not capitalized on playing under their own roof, which diminishes confidence in their ability to outlast Toronto.
Miami Marlins’ pitching staff has posted a 4.52 ERA and 1.30 WHIP, numbers that leave little margin for error when the offense is not in sync. While Stowers remains a dangerous bat, the supporting cast has not delivered enough to offset the team’s uneven form. With just three wins in their last ten and no recent offensive surge, the Marlins lack the stability needed to cover against a more disciplined Toronto side.
- Batting Average: 0.251
- Total Runs Scored: 549

Over/Under Trends
Toronto Blue Jays’ last 10 games have averaged 8.2 total runs, with 4 games that would have cleared today’s total of 8.

Moneyline Betting Prediction
Toronto’s superior overall record, steadier recent 6-4 stretch, and the proven production from Bichette, Guerrero Jr., and Springer position them as the clear side to back. Miami Marlins’ 3-7 skid and underwhelming home record highlight their inability to string together consistent results, even with Stowers’ individual power. Combining these factors with Toronto’s recent head-to-head win, the Blue Jays are the confident moneyline play in this interleague matchup.
Data supports the Toronto Blue Jays as the right side.
Over/Under Prediction
Last five form shows the Miami Marlins at 4.0 RPG and the Toronto Blue Jays at 3.8, giving context for the number.
These teams are combining for 7.8 runs per game recently — right around the posted total of 8.0. That points toward the Under 8.0.

MLB Predictions FAQ
How should I size my bets?
Use a consistent unit (about 1–2% of bankroll). Singles should be most of your volume. We like parlays—smart ones. Keep legs tight (2–3), cap risk to 0.25–0.5u, and pass when the price isn’t there.
What do moneyline, run line, and total mean?
Moneyline is who wins the game. Run line is a spread, usually ±1.5 runs. The total (over/under) is combined runs by both teams.
