Best MLB bets today
Toronto Blue Jays at Cleveland Guardians (-110, 8): 6:40 p.m. ET
The Blue Jays won the first game of the series on Tuesday night by a 10-6 score. Even with the loss, Cleveland is still 5-2 in the last seven meetings against Toronto.Â
The Blue Jays turn to Max Scherzer on Wednesday. The veteran has been dealing with a thumb injury and will be making his first start since March 29. Scherzer allowed two runs over three innings against Baltimore in his only start for Toronto this season.Â
Gavin Williams gets the call for Cleveland. The Guardians have lost Williams' last three starts, although he hasn't pitched poorly, allowing five runs in 16 innings of work. Overall, Williams has given up two runs or less in seven of his last nine starts.Â
Philadelphia Phillies (-165, 7.5) at Houston Astros: 8:10 p.m. ET
The Astros won a pitcher's duel on Tuesday, defeating Philadelphia, 1-0. Low-scoring games are nothing new in this series. The under is 10-0-1 in the last 11 meetings.Â
Runs could be tough to come by once again with Zack Wheeler on the mound for the Phillies. Wheeler has been lights out this season, allowing two runs or fewer in 10 of his last 11 starts. Not surprisingly, Philadelphia went 9-2 in those games.Â
The Astros counter with Colton Gordon. The left-hander has been solid for Houston this season, giving up three runs or less six times. Houston has been profitable with Gordon on the mound, going 5-2 in seven starts.Â
