The Miami Marlins, sitting at a dismal 59-100, are wrapping up a challenging season. Despite their losing record, recent games have shown some signs of life.

Adam Oller (1-4, 5.06 ERA) vs. Jose Berrios (16-10, 3.38 ERA)
It’s been a terrible season for Adam Oller of the Miami Marlins. His win-loss record stands at 1-4 and his ERA is a high 5.06 which explains the overall dismal performance. Oller pitched 37.1 innings over the season and had a WHIP of 1.47; therefore, it is evident from his reports that he is a walk-prone pitcher which he could not afford when pitched against a lineup such as Toronto.
This has not been the case for Jose Berrios for the Blue Jays who has performed exceptionally this season with a record of 16-10 and an ERA of 3.38. In that span, he has pitched for 189.1 innings whereas Berros has had a reasonable WHIP of 1.13 meaning he can keep his opponents at bay and maintain control of the games. Such form will be instrumental as he seeks to overpower an underperforming Marlins batting order.
MLB Odds/Point Spread: Toronto Blue Jays -175, Total Odds: 8.5
The latest odds in the betting markets put the Toronto Blue Jays in the favorite group at -175 owing to their better starting pitching and home form. The over and under mark set at 8.5 means there will be moderate use of the scoreboard which fits the current and quiet tendencies of the two sides.
Miami Marlins Betting Trends
The Marlins have been struggling recently and this is best exemplified by their woeful away record and record vs Toronto. It is no surprise to see that the trends in betting on games involving the Marlins do not favour betting on their moneyline considering their inability to win games or stop opposing players from scoring.
Toronto Blue Jays Betting Trends
The chances of the Blue Jays winning at home, especially against the Marlins have been positive as they have won 6 out of their last 7 encounters, all of which have been outright wins. Because of this streak, the team’s betting lines are held up by Berrios, making them an easier bet for the spread.
Miami Marlins vs. Toronto Blue Jays 9/27/24 Betting Picks
All things considered, the Blue Jays with Berrios on the mound, are expected to exploit the Marlins’ flaws, especially because Toronto’s hitters are better than Miami’s pitchers. Although considering both teams’ recent form a close encounter is more probable than what is given by the odds. Because of the pitching matchup and how both teams have been scoring lately, the under on total runs would be a more prudent choice for those who want to place bets.
With regards to the moneyline, it is recommended to support the Blue Jays. Proposition bets may include individual player props like Jose Berrios strikeout props or wagering against Miami’s hitters. With regards to the total, with the present pattern and the best premium picks today, cautious over-under wagering should be employed and in particular on under.
