Game 3 puts the least experienced arm in the series on the mound for Toronto. Spencer Miles starts against Tampa Bay’s Griffin Jax, who has settled into the Rays’ rotation at 5-7 with a still-shaky 4.08 ERA. On paper this is the most winnable matchup for Toronto’s bats all series. Here is the full world cup betting homepage breakdown of this week’s slate, with every prediction we have live.

Team Analysis
Tampa Bay Rays
Griffin Jax has a 5-7 record with a 4.08 ERA over 75 innings, having allowed 43 runs, the most of any Tampa Bay starter in this series. That is a real opportunity for Toronto’s bats, though Tampa Bay’s lineup, led by Caminero and Diaz, is dangerous enough that this could turn into a track meet instead.
Probable Starter: Griffin Jax (5-7, 4.08 ERA)
Toronto Blue Jays
Spencer Miles does not have the track record of Cease or Gausman, and his role this deep into the rotation needs a check against the current probable-pitchers list before this goes live. Depth starters see their workload change fast this time of year. Ernie Clement and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. especially should be looking to jump on a Rays starter who has had trouble limiting runs.
Probable Starter: Spencer Miles (confirm current-season stat line before publish)
Key Betting Angles
Jax’s runs-allowed numbers make this the most Toronto-friendly matchup of the series on the mound, but the uncertainty around Miles’s role cuts the other way. This has the shape of a higher-scoring game than Games 1 or 2, since neither starter has been especially hard to hit this year.
Check which bullpen is fresher by this point in the series. Three straight games at Rogers Centre adds up.

Our Prediction
Cole’s Pick: Lean the over once the total is posted
Jax’s runs-allowed numbers make this the most Toronto-friendly matchup of the series on the mound, but the uncertainty around Miles’s role cuts the other way. This has the shape of a higher-scoring game than Games 1 or 2, since neither starter has been especially hard to hit this year.
Check which bullpen is fresher by this point in the series before locking in a total lean, and treat the moneyline here as close to a coin flip pending confirmation of Miles’s role.
Confidence on the over once posted: low.
