Toronto Blue Jays vs San Diego Padres Prediction:Both sides will look forward to winning

Wednesday's Major League Baseball action at Rogers Centre features a matchup between the San Diego Padres and the Toronto Blue Jays. The Padres just finished a series against the Phillies over the weekend, in which they were defeated in three of the four games. Regarding Toronto, they competed against the Diamondbacks over the weekend and were successful in sweeping all three games.

Over the course of the weekend, the Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks in a best-of-three series by earning victories of 7-2, 5-2, and 7-5. During Sunday's game, Yusei Kikuchi of Toronto pitched 4.2 innings, allowing one earned run on two hits and three walks while striking out one batter. On Wednesday, the Blue Jays will begin the game with Alek Manoah at the helm of their starting rotation. This year, Manoah has made 14 starts and has a record of 2-7 with a 5.91 ERA and 56 strikeouts in 64.0 innings pitched. In his career, Manoah has played 65 games and has a record of 27-16 with a 3.17 ERA. The total number of runs scored by the Toronto Blue Jays in their previous 83 games has gone over in 32 of those games, including 11 of their last 18 games played at home. The Toronto Blue Jays have won their previous eight games against the spread and the money line.

In the first game of the series against the Philadelphia Phillies, which took place on Friday, the San Diego Padres prevailed 8-3. The following three games were all losses, with scores of 6-4, 9-4, and 7-6, respectively. On Sunday, the starting pitcher, Seth Lugo, lasted 5.1 innings, allowing five earned runs to be scored on seven hits and walking no one. Joe Musgrove will take the mound for the Padres on Wednesday to compete for the starting job. Musgrove has made 14 starts this season and has a record of 8-2 with a 3.29 earned run average. He got 79 Ks in 79.1 innings. After 184 games, 158 of which he started, Musgrove has a record of 58-56 with a 3.75 earned run average. The under has cashed in for San Diego Padres bettors in 47 of their last 87 games, while the money line has paid out in 44 of their last 94 games. In their last 87 games, San Diego has gone over the total score 33 times.

In this matchup, I'm going to stick with the San Diego Padres. These days, Musgrove is in excellent shape. Musgrove has compiled a record of 2-0 over the course of his three most recent starts combined. In those 19.0 combined innings, he has allowed three earned runs, 13 hits, and two walks. It is reasonable to expect another performance of high caliber from him here. Regarding Manoah, he had a terrible start against Houston on June 5 (0.1 innings, six earned), but he returned on July 7 and pitched 6.0 innings with only one earned run allowed. Also, Manoah ought to be alright in this battle, and I anticipate the majority of it to be a close contest between the two of them.
