The Toronto Blue Jays look for a series sweep over the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field.
The pregame narrative: It’s been all Toronto so far as the club has scored 25 runs through the first two games. Kevin Gausman starts for the Jays, and he’s been dealing recently. For the Rockies, Kyle Freeland will get the ball on Wednesday.
Check out my Blue Jays vs. Rockies same-game parlay predictions for Aug. 6, featuring SGP legs on Gausman and Ernie Clement.
Blue Jays vs. Rockies predictions
Parlay: Blue Jays ML | Gausman over 5.5 Ks | Clement over 1.5 bases (+340)
Blue Jays moneyline (-225): The Blue Jays have some notable advantages, and it starts with pitching.
- Over his past three starts, Gausman has a 2.84 ERA in 19.0 innings.
- Those starts came against teams in the playoff hunt (Yankees, Tigers, Royals), while the Rockies are MLB’s worst team at 30-83.
- For Colorado, Freeland has struggled this season with a 5.26 ERA. That number inflates to 5.98 at home, where he allows a .349 batting average.
Now, Freeland faces a red-hot Toronto offence. The Jays have a 148 wRC+ as a team over the past two weeks, which is the best in MLB.
Even if Freeland does pitch better than normal, the Rockies have the second-worst bullpen in MLB (5.30 ERA).
MLB SGP legs
Gausman over 5.5 Ks (+132): Let’s dig back into Gausman’s recent outings.
In that previously mentioned trio of starts, the veteran righty had 23 Ks, equating to a 10.9 K/9.
He went 2-1 against this line, ending with exactly five strikeouts in the outlier against the Kansas City Royals.
It’s worth noting that the Royals strike out the second-fewest times in the majors behind Toronto (6.9/game).
On the other side of the rankings sit the Rockies, who strike out the second-most times per game (9.6).
Gausman’s splitter has been electric, and he should continue missing bats in his home state.
Clement over 1.5 bases (-177): Among the Blue Jays who still have a 1.5 total bases prop, Clement holds the shortest odds.
That’s because a left-handed pitcher is on the mound, and he crushes lefties.
- vs. RHPs: .256/.292/.308, 70 OPS+
- vs. LHPs: .346/.380/.559, 162 OPS+
Freeland allows an .859 OPS to righties, and his 5.21 xERA sits right around his actual ERA (5.26).
The lefty also has a low walk rate (5.6%), which means there should be lots of balls in play, and Clement can capitalize on a huge platoon advantage.
