Toronto Blue Jays vs. Milwaukee Brewers: A Tale of Two Bullpens (and a Few Doubles)
August 31, 2025 — Rogers Centre, Toronto
The Milwaukee Brewers (+135) are here to remind us that they’re the road warriors of baseball, with a 9-1 record in their last 10 road games. But the Toronto Blue Jays (-145) aren’t just here to make them feel welcome—they’re here to even the series and maybe finally shut up the Brewers’ fans who still think “clutch” is a type of beer.
The Pitching Matchup?
Quinn Priester (11-2, 3.44 ERA) vs. Kevin Gausman (8-10, 3.87 ERA). Priester’s WHIP of 1.07 suggests he’s a one-trick pony (the trick being “don’t let the Jays hit”), while Gausman’s lefty magic has baffled righties (.180 BA). But here’s the kicker: Toronto’s bullpen is short-handed, and Milwaukee’s? Let’s just say their relief pitchers have the emotional stamina of a toddler at a firework show.
Implied Probabilities?
- Blue Jays to win: 58.5% (from -145).
- Brewers to win: 43.5% (from +135).
Translation: Bookmakers think Toronto’s chances are as good as a vegan at a steakhouse. But don’t sleep on the Brewers—they’ve got a 9-1 road streak and a lineup that’s hit more doubles than a garage sale in a suburb.
Prop Bets to Watch
1. Bo Bichette (Blue Jays): Over/Under 0.5 home runs at +310. Let’s be real—Bichette’s been hitting HRs like they’re free samples at a Costco.
2. George Springer (Blue Jays): Over/Under 1.5 RBIs at -140. Springer’s got the power to make your grandma forget she’s allergic to peanuts.
3. Brice Turang (Brewers): Over/Under 0.5 doubles at +290. If Turang gets a double, it’ll be the first time he’s doubled anything since his gym membership.
The Total?
8.5 runs. With Toronto’s lineup going over in 5 straight games and Milwaukee’s bullpen being… well, not a secret weapon, this could be a slugfest. But don’t expect a dinger parade—Gausman’s lefty stuff will keep the power hitters guessing.
Prediction
The Blue Jays win 5-3, thanks to a clutch home run from Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (who’s got a 350+ prop to hit 0.5 HRs—good luck, bookmakers). The Brewers’ bullpen will melt down in the 7th, because nothing says “trust” like watching your closer strike out on a 3-2 pitch to a guy named Isaac Collins.
Final Score: Toronto 5, Milwaukee 3.
Prop Wins: Bichette HR Over, Springer RBI Over, Total Runs Over.
Note: This prediction is 63% confident. The other 37% is just hoping Priester doesn’t throw a no-hitter… again. 🎲⚾
