The Jays squeaked by the Rangers in the first game of the series on Monday, beating them by a final score of 3-1. Will we see a similar result tonight? Let's find out what the oddsmakers think.

Blue Jays vs. Rangers Best Prop Bet

• Josh Smith Home Run (+575) via BetMGM

I've bet on Josh Smith of the Rangers to hit a home run tonight. I broke down why in today's edition of Daily Dinger:

Not only is Bowden Francis giving up 2.7 home runs per nine innings pitched this season, but he's been especially bad against left-handed bats. With that in mind, it seems like a no-brainer to bet on a lefty bat of the Texas Rangers tonight.

Blue Jays vs. Rangers Prediction and Pick

This game is a complete pitching mismatch, and I simply can't bet on the Blue Jays when they start Bowden Francis on the mound until he proves to me that he can be a much more consistent starter in the major leagues. He has a 5.54 ERA and a 6.49 FIP this season while giving up plenty of home runs.

Tonight, he'll face Nathan Eovaldi of the Rangers, who has been one of the best pitchers in the American League this season with an ERA of 1.60 and a league-leading WHIP of 0.787.

The Blue Jays' offense hasn't been good enough to score the runs they need to overcome the disparity between tonight's two starting pitchers.

I'll back the Rangers as home favorites tonight.

Pick: Rangers -148 (via DraftKings)
