The San Francisco Giants and the Toronto Blue Jays meet in MLB interleague action from Rogers Centre on Tuesday. Let’s dive into the starting pitching matchup, history and make a prediction for this game.
Starting Pitching Matchup
Ryan Walker will assume the opener role for San Francisco and is 2-0 with a 1.89 ERA and 20 strikeouts this season. Toronto will send Kevin Gausman to the mound here and he is 7-3 with a 3.10 ERA and 127 strikeouts this season.
Matchup History
These two teams haven’t squared off since 2019, when the Giants won a 4-3 decision to make if four wins in the last five meetings for the Giants.
Trends
San Francisco is 12-2 in their last 14 games overall and 5-0 in their last 5 road games while the over is 9-3 in their last 12 games overall. Toronto is 4-1 in their last 5 games overall and 6-3 in their last 9 home games while the over is 5-2 in their last 7 games overall.
Pick
I’m rolling with the under here. Kevin Gausman has definitely been a mixed bag on the road, but he’s been fairly consistent at home over the course of the season and should be able to spin a solid outing here. On the other side, the Giants’ strength on the mound this season has been their ability to consistently execute a bullpen game, and I think we could end up having a low-scoring affair here. Give me the under.
