The Toronto Blue Jays are 12-11 to start the season. The pitching staff has a 4.17 ERA, but it has been better of late, as the Jays have allowed just 13 runs in their last five games, or 2.6 runs per contest. The Astros bring an 11-11 record, and their staff has allowed 79 runs in 22 games, or 3.6 per contest. Houston's pitching has allowed four or fewer runs in eight of their last nine games, and in what shapes up as a low-scoring affair, I'm grabbing the road team. Toronto is seventh in the majors with a .252 average, and starter Chris Bassitt (2-0) has been phenomenal with a 0.77 ERA. Houston's offense is 22nd in hits, 23rd in scoring, and 24th in the majors for OPS. Take the Blue Jays on the moneyline, and bet this game to stay UNDER.
