9/3 Blue Jays vs Reds Picks, Predictions, and Stats

Bo Bichette Over 0.5 Runs -115 | Total Bases Over 2.5 +160

Bo Bichette dominated in yesterdays 12-9 Toronto Blue Jays win over the Cincinnati Reds. This isn’t a one time showing for Bichette though. He’s hitting .426 with a 1.098 OPS over his last 17 games. Compound his league leading batting average with the fact that Reds’ pitcher Zack Littell ranks in the bottom 25% in both xERA and opponent xBA and you have a recipe for another high powered outing. Bo is 5 for 11 in his career vs Littell and he’s scored at least one run in 10 of his last 17 games.

Blue Jays Money Line -160 | Over 8.5 Total

Blue Jays pitcher Shane Bieber has thrown 15 strikes over his last 2 starts and only allowed 3 earned runs. The Reds have the 6th highest strikeout rate. I expect Bichette and Bieber to be the difference makers in this match up that lead to a high scoring win for the Blue Jays.
