Game outlook
The San Diego Padres (44-50, 46-48 RL, 39-50-5 O/U) and the Toronto Blue Jays (53-41, 42-52 RL, 41-48-5 O/U) continue a three-game interleague series on Wednesday evening, as San Diego visits the Rogers Centre stadium in Toronto. The Padres will be sending Yu Darvish (ERA: 4.65) to the mound, while Toronto is giving the nod to Jose Berrios (ERA: 3.41). This is the first meeting between the two teams since the 2019 season, and Toronto is the betting favorite opening at -111. The line hasn't moved.
Jose Berrios Pitching As Blue Jays Look to Strengthen Wildcard Spot
Jose Berrios, who has been a steady presence this season with an 8-6 record, a 3.41 ERA, and a 1.16 WHIP over 113.1 innings, will be on the mound. Berrios limited the Diamondbacks to one run in 5.1 innings in his last outing, resulting in a no-decision but helped the Blue Jays secure a win. The Jays have won three consecutive series, including a series win in Detroit and a sweep of the Diamondbacks last weekend. They stand at 8-2 in their last ten decisions and have a 2.5-game cushion in the second wildcard spot. Berrios has conceded one run in seven innings in his only career meeting against the Padres. The Blue Jays are riding an impressive wave of momentum. With Berrios on the mound and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. demonstrating eight RBIs this month, the Jays have the tools to maintain their positive trend and reinforce their second wildcard spot.
