The current betting odds have the Blue Jays listed as a big underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Blue Jays have looked great in their games this season with their 61-42 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 24-25 road record this season. Meanwhile, the Tigers have looked great in their games this season with their 60-44 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 32-19 home record. The Tigers have been one of the best teams in the MLB all season, but lately they have looked terrible as they are 1-9 in their last 10 games while the Blue Jays are 7-3 and have been red hot. The Tigers do have the better pitching matchup here, but their offense hasn't been good since coming out of the All-Star break and this is a Blue Jays offense that has been rolling. Skubal is on the mound for the Tigers in this one and he has been their ace this season. He is 10-3 with a 2.19 ERA and hasn't been giving up many runs lately. He is coming off another great start in which he gave up 1 earned run and his team has won 7 of their last 8 games with him starting too. Gausman is on the mound for the Blue Jays in this one and he has looked good this season too. He is 7-7 with a 4.01 ERA and hasn't been giving up many runs lately. He gave up 1 earned run in his last start and the team has had a ton of success with him starting too, winning 4 of the last 5 games he started in. Skubal has been tough to crack all season, but the Tigers just aren't playing well right now and this is great value for a red hot Blue Jays team. The best way to place a bet here is on the Blue Jay to win this game or on the runline.
