Toronto Blue Jays at Houston Astros - 4/23/22 MLB Picks and Prediction

On the other side of this matchup is the Astros who sit with a 6-7 record overall and they have lost three games in a row. Over the last three games they have scored only five runs total, and for as much talent as the offense has, it hasn’t been good enough to start the season. Alex Bregman has been the top player hitting two home runs and driving in nine RBI’s. 

Getting the start for the Blue Jays will be Alek Manoah and he sits with a 1-0 record and an ERA of 1.50. It looks like Manoah could be in consideration for the Cy Young if he keeps this success up. 

Getting the start for the Astros will be Jose Uriquidy and in his last start against the Mariners, he went four innings giving up eight hits and six runs. 

The Blue Jays are 33-15 in their last 48 games. The Astros are 5-2 in their last seven games during Game 2 of a series. The Blue Jays are 2-5 in their last seven games against the Astros. The over is 7-3-2 in the last 12 meetings played between the two teams. 

Alek Manoah has been lights out this year, and he is going to lock down the Astros offense in this game. Look for the Astros to only score a goal or two and that will be the difference as the Blue Jays get the job done. Back the Blue Jays on the money line.
