The Lean

The Blue Jays are favored with a moneyline of -113, while the Tigers sit at -105. My model projects the Blue Jays to win with a score of 5-4. The Blue Jays have a strong batting average, ranking first in the league, which gives them an edge over the Tigers.

The total for the game is set at 9.0, with the over at -104 and the under at -115. My model predicts a total score of 9, aligning closely with the sportsbook’s line. With both teams having solid offensive stats, the over is a reasonable pick.

Blue Jays Continue Hot Streak as Tigers Tumble Further

The Toronto Blue Jays picked up right where they left off before the All-Star break, erupting late to crush the Detroit Tigers 11-4 on Thursday. It was a game that showcased Toronto’s relentless offense and exposed the growing concerns in Detroit’s rotation and lineup.

The series resumes Friday night as both teams aim to shift momentum — one to extend its dominance, the other to halt a disturbing collapse.

Tigers’ Slide Deepens with Fourth Straight Loss

Once comfortably leading the AL Central, the Tigers have suddenly lost 10 of their last 11 games and look like a team searching for answers. Thursday’s blowout marked their fourth straight loss and their sixth since the break.

Detroit managed just one meaningful swing — a solo homer by Jahmai Jones — before scoring three inconsequential runs in the ninth inning. Over the last seven games, the Tigers have produced a meager 13 runs.

Manager A.J. Hinch admitted the funk is setting in:

“You know, it’s been 11 days, but it feels like it’s been a lot longer… We’ve got to piece it back together.”

Blue Jays Display Power and Patience

The Blue Jays, on the other hand, exploded after a quiet first five innings. They plated all 11 of their runs between the sixth and eighth, keeping alive a run of six wins in their last seven contests.

“These guys have been relentless,” said Toronto skipper John Schneider. “I think what we’re doing is absolutely sustainable.”

The lineup’s recent performance continues to reinforce their contender status in the American League East, especially following a 10-game win streak earlier this month.

Friday’s Pitching Matchup: Berrios vs. Montero

Jose Berrios (6-4, 3.87 ERA) takes the mound for Toronto. While his July has been rough — 7.11 ERA in four starts — he still managed two wins this month. Berrios has strong career numbers against Detroit, going 7-3 with a 4.23 ERA across 16 appearances.

His most recent outing saw him allow four runs over 5 2/3 innings in a win against San Francisco. Before his recent bump, Berrios had racked up eight quality starts in a 10-game stretch.

Detroit counters with Keider Montero (4-2, 4.28 ERA), who has yet to lock down his role in the rotation. His last outing — a 4 1/3 inning, four-run performance against Texas — didn’t help his case. Montero faced the Blue Jays once last year and gave up five runs in 5 1/3 innings.

With Jackson Jobe out for the season, Montero has an opportunity to seize the No. 5 rotation spot — but it’s quickly slipping away.

Trajectory Check: Toronto Ascending, Detroit Declining

Toronto’s recent stretch has them pushing hard in the AL Wild Card race and gaining momentum in the division. Meanwhile, Detroit, though still clinging to the AL Central lead, looks like a team teetering toward a longer skid unless it regroups quickly.
