Toronto Blue Jays vs. Houston Astros

Spread: Houston Astros -1.5 (118) — Loss

EV signal: Premium only

Final score: Toronto Blue Jays 5, Houston Astros 4

Why this play: The Astros are primed to outslug the Blue Jays and cover the -1.5 run spread.

Quick read:

Take the Houston Astros at -1.5 runs; their offense should be enough to win by at least two runs.

Houston’s 536 runs and 156 homers this season eclipse Toronto’s 444 runs, showing a lineup that can generate the needed margin.

The Astros have also surrendered 560 runs, so a sudden pitching spark from Toronto could keep it tighter than expected—still, the spread feels like a modestly priced edge.
