Blue Jays vs. Rangers: Probable Starters Leave Texas -163 a Pass
Analysis updated September 20, 2026 at 5:51 AM CDT
Toronto probable starter Spencer Miles brings a 2.65 ERA against Jacob deGrom's 3.79, but that comparison alone doesn't establish value on the Blue Jays at SPF's +135.
Pitching and the price
Texas has asked plenty of its long relievers ahead of Sunday's game against Toronto. MLB.com, Major League Baseball's official website, reports that they supplied at least four scoreless innings in each of the three games before Cal Quantrill exited Saturday with right lat tightness. That workload warrants caution about backing the Rangers at SPF's -163, though it doesn't establish which relievers are unavailable.
CBS Sports lists Spencer Miles and Jacob deGrom as the probable starters. Miles has a 2.65 ERA over 91⅔ innings; deGrom has a 3.79 ERA across 154⅓. Toronto's lower ERA comes over fewer innings, and ERA alone can't tell us either team's chance of winning.
Betting decision
Pass on both moneylines. Texas is the market favorite, but the pitching figures don't justify an independent winner pick or establish that Toronto's +135 is a bargain. With starters still listed as probable and lineups unconfirmed, there's also no supported lean on SPF's total of 8, priced at over -107 and under -112.
