Blue Jays vs. Giants Prediction, Winner Payout, Over/Under – Wednesday, July 8

These are not potent hitting teams. Even after their 9-3 victory Tuesday, the Blue Jays have scored the fourth-fewest runs in baseball, and the Giants have scored the eighth-fewest.

A major concern with the Blue Jays is that they have the fourth-worst OPS (.686) in the majors. A main culprit is 1B Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who's only hit 4 home runs on his way to a .689 OPS. For his career, he has a .847 OPS.

The Giants haven’t scored a ton more runs than the Blue Jays, but they have created more opportunities, ranking 12th in OPS (.730) on the year.
