The current betting odds have the Blue Jays listed as a slight favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Blue Jays have looked great in their games this season with their 60-42 record overall which has them right at the top of the AL East with one of the best records in the entire MLB. They haven't been a great road team though with their 23-25 road record this season. Meanwhile, the Tigers have looked great in their games this season with their 60-43 record overall which has them right at the top of the AL Central with one of the best records in the entire MLB. They have also looked great in their own ballpark this year with their 32-18 home record. The Blue Jays have also been rolling in their games lately as they are 6-4 in their last 10 while the Tigers are 1-9 and have been in a big slump. The Blue Jays are going with Berrios in this one and he has looked good this season. He is 6-4 with a 3.87 ERA and the team has had a ton of success with him starting lately. He did give up 4 earned runs in his last start, but the team has still won 5 of their last 6 games with him on the mound and he will be looking to bounce back with a better start here. The Tigers are going with Montero in this one and he hasn't looked great this season. He is 4-2 with a 4.28 ERA and has been giving up some runs lately. He also gave up 4 earned runs in his last start and the team has lost 2 games in a row now with him starting too. The Blue Jays have the better pitching matchup that they can take advantage of here and they will be looking to stay hot. The best way to place a bet here is on the Blue Jays to win this game.

"I don’t know what I enjoyed more on that one, whether it was George’s face or Carlos’ footwork. He has a little, it was Salsa Night. It all starts with intent. That was a line drive. George had to freeze on it, then kick it into gear. I wish more people could be in our dugout as plays like that are unfolding.” - John Schneider after his team’s win against the Yankees in their game on Wednesday.

“I think my expectations are just for him to settle in now and learn. It's not going to be the last guy he walks. It's not going to be the last homer he gives up. But it's important for him to take a deep breath after a really emotional and important day for him. I think he's a very calm pitcher. He's emotional enough because he's excitable and wants to do well. He should take away from the day that he's a big leaguer forever. It's just a rough start to his career. But a lot of promise to it.” - A.J. Hinch after his team’s loss against the Pirates in their game on Wednesday.
