Toronto Blue Jays vs Houston Astros Predictions 4/19/2023

 

As they continue their poor start, the Houston Astros are still hoping to break out in 2023. Although Houston is at 8-9 going into its game against Toronto on Tuesday night, they won two straight.

 

The extra-base hit helped the Astros defeat the Blue Jays on Monday night. Out of their 10 hits, the Astros pounded out two home runs—one each by Jake Myers and Corey Julks—and three doubles, cruising to a 9-2 victory.

 

The Astros lost game two 4-2 despite having eight hits but only going 2-for-9 with runners in scoring position.

Toronto Blue Jays vs Houston Astros. The MLB pick for this game is the Toronto Blue Jays.

 

Since the beginning of the season, the Blue Jays have been the more reliable of the two teams, and Berrios is returning from his best start of the year.

 

Garcia did not yet appear at ease on the mound as a result of his difficulties adjusting to the new mechanics he had to incorporate into his delivery this season as a result of the regulation changes.

 

Garcia allowed four home runs to Toronto in two starts last year. He will now take on a Blue Jays lineup that is loaded with potential but did not quite show it this year.

 

With Altuve out of the starting lineup, the Astros’ lineup is still attempting to establish itself. Toronto had a strong performance versus Houston in the previous season, going 4-2 against the World Champions.

 

On Wednesday, the Blue Jays should win this series. The Toronto Blue Jays will win to a predicted score of 6-3.
