Don't look now, but the Toronto Blue Jays are hot! They're 5-1 in their last six games and are sitting firmly at 65-51.

They'll wrap up their series with the Cleveland Guardians on Thursday afternoon and can win the four-game series with a victory today.

Let's take a look at the odds and then I'll break down my best bet.

Blue Jays vs. Guardians odds, run line, and total

Blue Jays vs. Guardians prediction and pick

Alek Manoah will get the start for the Blue Jays tonight and whenever he's the mound, I'm inclined to take the OVER. We never really know what version of him is going to show up. Since his return to the rotation, he's had two starts where he has given up just one earned runs but three starts where he's given up three or more.

Even if he's been streaky, at least he's not Noah Syndergaard, who will be starting for the Guardians. He has a 7.91 (!!) ERA over his last four starts and a 6.75 ERA on the year. I have no doubt the Blue Jays offense will get to him.

Over the past 30 days, the Jays offense ranks eighth in the Majors in OPS at .777.

Has the UNDER hit by a mile in each of the first three games this series? Yes. Does that mean we should automatically take the UNDER today? Absolutely not.

Let's root for some runs to finally be scored in today's series finale.
