Team Analysis
Toronto Blue Jays
The Blue Jays enter with a 79-58 record but a mediocre 34-35 mark on the road, highlighting their struggles away from home. Their last 5 games show a 2-3 record with 4.8 runs per game, exposing inconsistency in converting scoring chances. Bo Bichette has been steady in contact hitting, but Toronto’s offense has lacked sustained firepower outside isolated bursts.
Over the last 10 games, the Blue Jays have split 5-5 with 5.4 runs per game, showing no clear momentum. George Springer adds power, yet the club’s inability to string together wins on the road keeps them from being a reliable betting side. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. provides run production, but the team’s overall rhythm has not translated into dominance in interleague play.
- Batting Average: 0.268

Away Record: 34-35 • Home Record: 45-24
Last 5 Games: 2-3 (4.8 RPG)
Last 10 Games: 5-5 (5.4 RPG)
Cincinnati Reds
The Reds sit at 69-68, and while their last 10 games reflect a 3-7 skid, their home record of 38-31 makes clear stronger performance in front of their crowd. Their last 5 games have produced a 2-3 mark with 4.0 runs per game, showing modest scoring but steadier pitching support. Elly De La Cruz has been a key run driver, keeping them competitive despite recent dips.
Noelvi Marte adds balance to the lineup, and Miguel Andujar’s hitting consistency gives Cincinnati a reliable contact option in tight scoring environments. Even with recent offensive inconsistency, the Reds’ ability to limit runs with a 3.84 ERA positions them well against a Blue Jays team that has not traveled effectively. Cincinnati Reds’ home edge combined with timely contributions from their core hitters makes them the more dependable side.
- Batting Average: 0.246
