No Middle Ground for the Blue Jays

Toronto is 6-1 in its last seven games, decided by either one or two runs. However, when the Blue Jays lose, there isn’t typically much drama involved, as Toronto has been outscored by 30 runs in its last seven losses.

The Blue Jays are batting just .194 with a slugging percentage of .301 in its 33 losses. The batting average is .271 in the 32 wins with a .434 slugging percentage. That is something to consider when it comes to the Blue Jays vs Brewers run line odds.

Vlad Guerrero and Isiah Kiner-Falefa are the only Blue Jay starters who are hitting over .250 when Toronto loses. Bo Bichette, Daulton Varsho, George Springer, and Justin Turner are all batting under .200 in those games, with Bichette having a slugging percentage of .237 and Turner’s slugging percentage at .198.

Six of Toronto’s last nine games went over the total.

Help On the Way for the Brewers

When looking at the MLB news, the Brewers got veteran Christian Yelich back after he missed 25 games. When looking at the MLB news, keep an eye on the return date of Christian Arroyo.

Arroyo joined the Brewers in the offseason after spending the last four seasons with the Boston Red Sox. He is

close to making his 2024 debut. Arroyo hit .288 over the previous three seasons against the Toronto Blue Jays. Outfielder Garrett Mitchell, who had six of his 16 hits last season go for extra bases, could be back soon, although he is not expected to be on the field in this series.

If Arroyo can return in this series, it may impact the Blue Jays vs Brewers run line odds.
