Atlanta Braves vs Toronto Blue Jays 5/12/2023 Picks Predictions Previews

The Atlanta Braves will go against the Toronto Blue Jays in MLB action in Rogers Centre, TOR, on Friday, May 12, 2023, at 7:07 PM ET.

The Braves didn’t intend to leave their home field with a defeat to the Red Sox, but that is where things stand going into the weekend.

Atlanta’s current streak of 15 games without consecutive defeats should at least provide some consolation. The Braves have gone 11-4 over that span as they rose to the top record and run differential in the NL this year.

With the third-most home runs in the league, an offense that ranks sixth in runs scored per game is in the lead. Atlanta’s starting lineup’s top four hitters already combined for 33 home runs and 101 RBIs.

There are now nine additional long balls, all by Ozzie Albies. Atlanta is also sixth in the nation for walk rates and steals bases 27 of 31 times (87.1%). The position players for the Braves are performing admirably in all areas.

Also not to be overlooked is Atlanta’s pitching staff, which started this trip sixth in team ERA. Possibly the finest rotation in the majors belongs to the Braves, and Spencer Strider plays a key role in it.

Atlanta is 7-0 this season when he opens the game, and in three of those starts, he kept the opposition scoreless. Strider has the highest strikeout rate of any qualifying pitcher in the majors at 42.4%.

With a 0.925 WHIP, he was outstanding and is trying to maintain that. After that, Strider will join one of the top bullpens in the major leagues in 2023.

The Atlanta Braves are 6-2 SU in their last 8 matches.
Atlanta is 0-6 SU in their last 6 matches against Toronto.
The Braves are 13-2 SU in their last 15 matches on the road.

Atlanta Braves vs Toronto Blue Jays Predictions 5/12/2023

The Blue Jays have a dismal road record of 12-13, but they have a 9-3 record at home so far this season. The team had superior pitching and hitting outcomes at Rogers Centre in a smaller sample size.

The familiarity of a home should be welcome after their past nine matches took them to three different locations.

especially given that the team’s record over its past 10 games is at 3-7. That caliber of performance won’t go very far considering they are in MLB’s most difficult division.

The staff surrendered six or more runs in each of the previous 10 games, which indicates a serious issue with the pitching.

Despite the skid, the squad ranks 13th in ERA and has solid results in the majority of pitching metrics.

The troubles of Toronto are unrelated to Chris Bassitt’s most recent start since he delivered 7.0 innings of scoreless relief in a victory in his last outing.

Bassitt provided the Blue Jays with five excellent starts in his last six appearances after a terrible start to the season.

The total went OVER in 8 of Toronto’s last 10 matches.
The Toronto Blue Jays are 3-7 SU in their last 10 matches.
The total remained UNDER in 5 of Toronto’s last 6 matches at home.

Atlanta Braves vs Toronto Blue Jays. The MLB pick for this game is the Atlanta Braves. When Spencer Strider is pitching for the Braves, betting on them is never a terrible idea.

They all produced victories. This season, Chris Bassitt had several strong starts, but none compared to Strider’s. A lineup as strong as Atlanta’s was this season did not present Bassitt with any challenges.

Additionally, Bassitt is now recording the second-highest HR/9 of his career. Atlanta has the advantage in beginning pitching, relief pitching, and offense, so this game should be close.

The Atlanta Braves will win to a predicted score of 6-2.
