Detroit Tigers vs Toronto Blue Jays 4/12/2023 Picks Predictions Previews

On Tuesday night, the Detroit Tigers (2-8) faced off against the Toronto Blue Jays (7-4) in the opening game of their series.

Detroit started strong, taking a 3-0 lead in the second inning, but Toronto quickly turned the tide and went on to win 9-3 in their home opener.

The Blue Jays showed off their offensive prowess with five different players hitting home runs, while their bullpen kept Detroit hitless for 1.2 innings behind Alex Manoah.

Unfortunately for Detroit, their two pitchers had a rough night, and they’ll be looking to turn things around in Wednesday’s game, which is scheduled for 7:07 p.m. EST at Rogers Centre.

The Tigers started their season with a series sweep by Tampa Bay, but then managed to take two of three games in Houston. However, they’ve struggled in their past five games, all of which they’ve lost by at least three runs.

This is far from what the Tigers were hoping for this season, even though they weren’t expected to make the playoffs.

To turn things around, Eduardo Rodriguez will need to lead the Tigers from the mound in his third start of the season.

The former Boston pitcher has plenty of experience against Toronto, having faced them 17 times in his career.

However, he hasn’t had much success against them, as he has a 5.20 ERA and has given up 17 home runs, which is tied for the most he’s given up to any team.

The Detroit Tigers are 0-5 SU in their last 5 games.
Detroit is 1-5 SU in their last 6 matches with the Toronto Blue Jays.

Detroit Tigers vs Toronto Blue Jays Predictions 4/12/2023

In a peculiar twist of fate, Toronto‘s power hitters failed to knock any balls out of the park during their first series, a rather unusual development for a team renowned for their impressive batting skills.

However, since leaving St. Louis, the Blue Jays have homered in every game, smashing a total of 15 home runs over their past eight games.

With a solitary loss in their last seven outings, it’s clear that the emergence of their power is no coincidence.

Considering the strength of the AL East division this season, Toronto will need to continue swinging a hot bat if they want to emerge victorious.

A home series win against Detroit would be a significant step forward, particularly with an undefeated Tampa Bay Rays side looming on the horizon this weekend.

Tasked with leading the charge for Toronto is pitcher Kevin Gausman, who is yet to allow an earned run this season after 12.0 innings pitched, boasting an impressive 14 strikeouts and a mere three walks.

In his only outing against the Tigers last year, Gausman limited them to just two runs, with one of those being unearned, across 6.0 innings.

Furthermore, Toronto’s bullpen has been dependable thus far, effectively shutting down Detroit’s offense in the series opener.

The total stayed UNDER in 13 of Toronto’s last 15 games against Detroit.
The total went OVER in 6 of Toronto’s last 7 games at home.
The total remained UNDER in 12 of Toronto’s last 13 games at home against the Tigers.

Detroit Tigers vs Toronto Blue Jays. The MLB pick for this game is the Toronto Blue Jays. Toronto’s Pitcher Kevin Gausman is one of the top 5 starters in all of baseball. He should have two wins already if he had any run support.

The Blue Jays are 6-0 in Gausman’s last 6 starts following a Quality Start in his last outing. Since coming back from a personal matter, he hasn’t looked like his old self.

The Blue Jays get the win in another great play by Gausman. Prediction: Toronto wins on the run line, 5-1.
