The Toronto Blue Jays (23-28) and the Detroit Tigers (25-27) meet in the third and final game of their series on Sunday. Detroit won the first two games of the series and will look to complete the sweep after winning 6-2 on Friday and 2-1 on Saturday. However, Toronto will send ace Yusei Kikuchi (2-4, 2.61 ERA) to the mound while the Tigers will counter with Casey Mize (1-3, 4.57 ERA).

First pitch is scheduled for 11:35 a.m. ET from Comerica Field in Detroit. The Blue Jays are the -133 money line favorite (risk $133 to win $100) in the latest Tigers vs. Blue Jays odds, while Detroit is a +113 underdog. The over/under for total runs scored is 8. Before you make any Blue Jays vs. Tigers picks or MLB predictions, you need to see what the SportsLine Projection Model has to say.

The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every MLB game 10,000 times. It enters Week 8 of the 2024 MLB season on a profitable 123-99 run on top-rated MLB picks dating back to last season, and it has excelled on top-rated run-line picks during that span, going 20-8 (+708). Anybody following has seen HUGE returns!

The model knows Detroit will be looking to put a previous five-game losing streak in the rearview mirror by completing the sweep on Sunday. Kerry Carpenter has been the biggest threat in the Tigers' lineup this season, slashing .285/.340/.576 with eight home runs and 29 RBI. Mize was shelled for six earned runs in 1 2/3 innings his last time out but he had managed quality starts in his two prior starts.

The model also knows the Blue Jays will be relying heavily on Kikuchi to continue what has already been a spectacular season for the Japanese lefty. Kikucki has given up three earned runs or less in nine of his 10 starts so far this season and has 61 strikeouts over 58 innings. However, Toronto has only managed to score three runs in the first two games of the series and offense has been a struggle all year, with no regulars posting an OPS better than .796 over the first 51 games this season.

The model has simulated Tigers vs. Blue Jays 10,000 times and the results are in. We can tell you the model is leaning Under on the run total and it also says one side of the money line has ALL the value!
