The\u00a0Toronto Blue Jays<\/a>\u00a0are currently in first place in the American League East after a hot stretch ahead of the All-Star Break. Toronto sits at 55-41 after ripping off a 10-game winning streak that stretched across late June and early July, as the Blue Jays are two games ahead of the second-place New York Yankees and three games ahead of the Boston Red Sox. The Blue Jays will look to at least maintain their division lead on Friday, July 18, when they host the San Francisco Giants at 7:07 p.m. ET on MLB Network.<\/p>\n

Baseball fans looking to get into\u00a0MLB betting<\/a>\u00a0can get the latest Giants vs. Blue Jays predictions and player props from the SportsLine Projection Model, which simulates every game 10,000 times.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chris Bassitt<\/a> (9-4, 4.12 ERA) gets the nod for Toronto, while Justin Verlander<\/a> (0-7, 4.70 ERA) is still looking for his first win this campaign with San Francisco. At FanDuel Sportsbook<\/a>, Bassitt’s strikeout prop is 5.5 (Over +100, Under -128), while Verlander’s is 3.5 (Over -174, Under +130). The SportsLine Projection Model rates the Over on Verlander’s strikeout prop as a 4-star recommendation, as it projects Verlander to finish with 4.5 punchouts.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Vladimir Guerrero<\/a> Jr. and Rafael Devers<\/a> are tied for the shortest odds to homer in this game at +360. Devers has the most home runs this season of any player on either team, though 15 of his 17 home runs have come with the Red Sox<\/a> and he only has two homers in 25 games with the Giants. Other notable home run odds include George Springer<\/a> at +430, Bo Bichette<\/a> at +540 and Willy Adames<\/a> at +540.<\/p>\n

The Blue Jays are -146 favorites (wager $146 to win $100) in the latest SportsLine consensus odds, while the Giants are +122 (wager $100 to win $122) underdogs. The total currently resides at 8.5.
