The Toronto Blue Jays have won nine of their last ten games, but we throw caution to the wind on this statistic. For starters, the one loss in that stretch was against the Royals who were missing their four leading bats among a handful of other massive contributors. Surrounding that lone defeat in a ten-game stretch, the Blue Jays won the remaining against the depleted Kansas City team, the Phillies who also traveled minus a few contributors, a free-falling Red Sox team, and now the first game of two against the Cardinals.

The St. Louis Cardinals are without Nolan Arenado and Paul Goldschmidt for this quick two-game series in Toronto due to the vaccination requirements still in place. The Blue Jays are simply the product of playing the right teams at the right time. The last few teams to play in Toronto have provided ample evidence that the vaccination status of the team will matter as the season progresses. The Baltimore Orioles traveled earlier in the season to Toronto minus Anthony Santander, and he has now been vaccinated.

Any serious playoff contender, especially in the American League, who will be buyers this trade deadline will have to take into consideration a player’s status. The Cardinals would not have to worry about that until a World Series berth, but teams like the Rays, White Sox, Guardians, Orioles, and Mariners could find themselves in trouble.

Tuesday night was just another example of a team simply missing too much. They traveled North minus their leading run producer, home run hitter, and batting average leader. All led by Goldschmidt. In Wednesday night's matchup, Goldschmidt will again be joined in absence by Arenado and Molina, who has landed on the 10-day IL.

WynnBET Sportsbook is offering $200 in free bets after signing up using the XVIBONUS code at signup. After signing up, you must deposit a minimum of $50. Once your first $50 wager on -120 odds or greater has settled, WynnBET Sportsbook will give you $200 in free bet tokens.

The first $50 is deposited within 72 hours of the qualifying wager settling. The remaining $50 free bet tokens are released each subsequent day after the first until all $200 have been deposited into your account. Free bet stakes are excluded from returns.

WynnBET Sportsbook currently has the Blue Jays as huge favorites on the money line, -240. The money line is too high for that to be a qualifying bet, but WynnBET Sportsbook also has the run line. The Blue Jays are -1.5 and laying just -115. That might be a way to go if you are confident in the Blue Jays.

The St. Louis Cardinals at +215 may be worth a look as a first wager at WynnBET. Albeit a 10-3 defeat on Tuesday, the Cardinals were competitive aside from the George Springer grand slam. The Cardinals on the run line at +1.5 are priced at -105. A $100 wager on the Cardinals would net a return of $95.24.

The pitching matchup will feature two pitchers having good respective seasons. The Cardinals will have Adam Wainwright on the bump making his 20th start this year. He carries a 3.40 ERA spanning 116.1 innings. Wainwright is 6-8 on the season, but the Cardinals have lost four straight behind him. He is coming off a rough start against the Reds, as he allowed seven earned runs over 5.1 innings. He has allowed four earned or more in two of his last four starts.

The Blue Jays will counter with Kevin Gausman. He is 7-7 on the season with a 3.00 ERA. He has allowed 110 hits, 33 earned runs, and recorded 116 strikeouts spanning 99 innings. He has allowed more than three earned runs in just one of his 18 starts.

The current total at WynnBET Sportsbook is set to 8. The over is priced at -115, while the under is priced at -105. The Cardinals have gone under the total in seven of their last eight road games. The Rogers Centre has been friendly to the over, hitting at a 21-6 clip over the last 27 games there. The head-to-head trends have been in conflict. The last six meetings between these two teams have gone over, but before yesterday’s over, these two have seen five straight unders at Rogers Centre.
