Houston Astros vs Toronto Blue Jays Predictions Today | Best MLB Picks For 9/9/25

Let’s move to uh Major League Baseball. Taking a look at the Astros and the Blue Jays. I have not been following these two teams. I’ve been following a couple of others. So, I don’t know much about where these teams are at right now. Tell us a little bit about these two teams and what you think of this matchup today. Uh, everyone likes Toronto minus 150. You get Houston at plus 130 with an overunder eight and a half. Such a vanilla eight and a half. What What’s up with Take a Stand Books. Every every game is just like eight and a half. Well, we’re going to talk about that eight and a half here just in a second, Annie, but it is a battle of division leaders north of the border. These teams have not met since April. If you go all the way back to April, Astros swept the Blue Jays in a three-game series down in Houston. All three of those games stayed under the total. In fact, only 17 total runs were scored in that entire three-game series. But what you need to understand here, guys, we’re going to be looking at a much different matchup. Now, obviously, the Blue Jays, their offense is a lot better now than it was in April. More on that in just a minute. But let’s talk about the series taking place in Toronto. Overs are 80 57 and six in Jay’s home games this season. It’s number one in all of Major League Baseball. Includes 8-1 to the over the last nine Blue Jays home games. And a lot of that, yes, is about these Jays bats. They average 5.3 2 5.32 runs per game, pardon me, at home. They’re also number one in batting average, number one in on base percentage, number one in slugging, number one in WRC plus that since the all-star break. The off day yesterday hopefully means Bo Bashette back in the lineup. Uh tonight he missed Sunday’s 4-3 loss to the Yankees. Bette uh he’s gone over one and a half total bases in 11 of his last 15 games played. So a lot of production there. You’ve also got Vlad Gu Morero comes in five straight multi-hit games. and Jays will be facing Luis Garcia. Second outing since coming back from a long stint on the IIL. Garcia did allow two home runs in his first start back. Overall, it was a good start, but the two home runs perhaps a bit of a red flag. You got Shane Bieber starting uh for Toronto. He was the big tre trade deadline acquisition of course for the Jays. His first two starts, Andy, went really well, but then he had the blow up last time out. He had a lot of fiveun inning. We’ll see if that’s a sign of things to come. What we do know though, Astros score more on the road than they do at home. Jake Myers has returned from injury. That’s a good thing. Also, even if the Strolls don’t get to Bieber early, they’ve always got a a shot here against what has been the Blue Jays Albatross. That being the bullpen, fourth highest RA since the All-Star break. 5.38 for Jays relievers. That’s not good. All of this lands me on over eight and a half. Of course, nine, one of the key numbers when betting MLB totals. I’m 61% this season with MLB totals, by the way. Had the over last night in Twins Angels. That was uh a pretty easy game even though there were a lot of uh late scratches. I had to go into my writeup, Andy. And everyone who had bought the play got a late update from me that said, “Well, guys, uh a lot of big names aren’t playing tonight. Uh won’t be in the lineup.” But uh we’re going to go with it anyway. I think these pitchers still stink. And guess what? The pitchers still stunk. And we cashed that one by the top of the sixth inning. So over eight and a half in Blue Jays Astros. All right, it’s f it’s $5 Tuesday. Brian, what do you have up for clients? Well, wouldn’t you know, Andy, I have a play up for $5 and it is a 4% best bet for NFL week two, guys. I mentioned it at the outset. Went six and two football last week. I’ll take that every week. I go six every week, Andy, I’d be a very happy man. and uh 3-1 in college, 3 and one in uh as as far as the NFL goes, our 4% best bet in week one office was the Packers over the Lions. And I think this best bet that I’ve got here locked and loaded for week two uh will be just as good. Quite frankly, what we always try to do, we did this last year if you were on board with me last year in football season with $5 Tuesday. What I try to do is just get in on a line that I think is the best. It’s not going to get better. The number is not going to get better throughout the week. I think that’s the case with what I’ve got here. Uh 2312 and one all sports run. Andy uh for me over the last what is it two plus weeks and then up 45.1 units going back to late May. We hit 66% of our football plays last year in September, guys. So really no surprise that we went six and two last week. WT.Buzzbe Buzz SLP
