Brewers vs. Jays – Game Betting Preview & Prediction
Moneyline: Toronto -137
Spread: Toronto -1.5 (+158)
Total: 7.5
Toronto Blue Jays Betting Outlook
The Blue Jays enter Friday night’s showdown as -137 moneyline favorites with the total set at 7.5, holding MLB’s best home record at 44-22. After taking two of three from the Twins, capped by a wild 9-8 win Wednesday, Toronto sits atop the AL with the league’s second-best overall record.
Shane Bieber (1-0, 1.50 ERA) makes his second start since Tommy John surgery, coming off an impressive debut against Miami where he struck out nine over six innings. While his career numbers against Milwaukee are modest (1-1, 4.50 ERA in two starts), his command looked sharp. Offensively, Bo Bichette is scorching hot with a 12-game hitting streak (.438 in that stretch), giving Toronto momentum entering this high-profile series.
Milwaukee Brewers Betting Outlook
The Brewers, owners of the best overall record in baseball, dropped back-to-back games to Arizona to split their last four-game set. They still boast a league-best 38-28 road record, but recent cracks are showing. Milwaukee has gone just 5-8 since their 14-game winning streak ended, with a glaring 2-for-24 slump with runners in scoring position over their past two contests.
Freddy Peralta (15-5, 2.68 ERA) will toe the rubber, one of baseball’s most consistent arms this season. He faced Toronto once before, taking a 3-1 loss in 2023 despite pitching six strong innings. The Brewers’ lineup has talent, but losing closer Trevor Megill to the IL could loom large in tight games. Outfielder Jackson Chourio might return this weekend from a hamstring strain, potentially giving the lineup a spark.
MLB Final Betting Outlook
This matchup pits MLB’s best road team against MLB’s best home team. But with Bieber fresh off a dominant return and Bichette carrying Toronto’s offense, the Jays have the edge at Rogers Centre.
Score Prediction: Blue Jays 5, Brewers 3
