In his last start, he allowed 1 ER, 1 HR, and 0 BB with 7 Ks on 7 hits through 6 IP against the Boston Red Sox. 

The current betting odds have the Blue Jays listed as a massive favorite in this game. The Tigers have been playing well in their recent games but they have been at home in a lot of those games. They are going on the road here where they have been awful all season and they have to leave some players behind for this trip as well. The Jays have been starting to heat up recently and they have been scoring a lot of runs in their recent games. Garcia is starting for the Tigers here and he has not been awful this season but he has not been great either and he will struggle in this game against this good Jays lineup that has been hitting well recently. The Jays have Manoah starting here and he has been a stud for them all season and ever since he came into the MLB last season. He does not allow many runs in his starts and he has been pitching well recently. The Tigers have one of the worst offenses in the MLB right now and Manoah will have no problems shutting them down here. The best way to place a bet here is on the Blue Jays to win this game on the runline.

"In the first half of the season, that ball probably rolls foul and Jonathan gets rung up on a borderline third strike. Winning this series, and even coming back in the ninth inning before losing yesterday -- that's a lot more like the team we were last season." - A.J. Hinch after his team’s win against the Padres on Wednesday.

 

 

"Obviously, I was in the clubhouse a lot earlier than I wanted to be." - Kevin Gausman after their loss against the Cardinals on Wednesday.
