Best Bet: Springer over 0.5 runs (-130)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Springer homered in the first game of the doubleheader yesterday, though that technically goes on his record as part of a June 26 makeup game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even if we don’t count that homer toward his recent results, Springer is finding plenty of success at the plate these days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over his past 10 games, Springer is slugging .591 and has scored six times. That kind of power from the leadoff spot means he’s a credible threat to put himself in scoring position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And once he’s there, someone \u2014 namely, Guerrero \u2014 should be equipped to drive him in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vladdy, who we’ll discuss more in a moment, crushes righties and he crushes at Fenway Park. Oh, and he seems to be crushing just about everybody right now. So he’s a nice guy to have batting behind Springer in the Blue Jays’ No. 3 spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boston right-hander Cooper Criswell has allowed five hits in 12 at-bats against the Jays’ current lineup. Springer is 1-for-3 with a walk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Criswell, who has bounced in and out of Boston’s rotation this year, has made eight appearances since July 12. In that span, opponents have a staggering .330\/.375\/.481 slash line against him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key stat:<\/strong> Springer has cashed his run prop in 22 of 42 games since returning to Toronto’s leadoff spot in early July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quick picks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Guerrero over 1.5 bases (-130):<\/strong> This is approaching the limit in terms of how much juice I can deal with on a bases prop. But Vladdy has been well worth the price this month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In August, Guerrero has cleared 1.5 bases in 14 of 22 games while posting a 1.192 OPS. He has multiple hits in three straight matchups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vladdy is hitting better against lefties this year than ever before, but he’s doing just fine in righty-righty matchups, too. Against RHPs this year, he has a .930 OPS \u2014 his best single-season mark aside from that magical 2021 campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Historically, he loves to play in Boston. Guerrero’s 1.058 OPS (43 games) at Fenway is his highest at any MLB park in which he’s played seven or more games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re looking for a Guerrero prop at a more enticing price, consider him to score a run (-109) or record an RBI (+135).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blue Jays over 4.5 runs (-110):<\/strong> This pick is a natural tie-in to me backing a pair of Jays sluggers to produce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the team’s recent production goes a lot deeper than two players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the past two weeks, Toronto leads MLB in home runs (24), SLG (.504) and wRC+ (131). Guerrero and Springer are two of the headliners within that group, but others like Joey Loperfido and Alejandro Kirk are chipping in, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Jays have gone over 4.5 runs in six of their past seven games. Against a guy like Criswell who’s been far from lights out, I think the offence can stay hot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
