The Blue Jays and Redes shared the first two games of the series in Toronto. Both matches were settled on the betting sites at a Game Total of 8.5 which resulted in an OVER. 

The Blue Jays in particular have been especially effective in winning games when they have more hits than their rivals, where they have a record of 46-21. However, hitting hits for them is not so easy, this season they barely average 7.8 hits per game and 7.2 in the last 10 games. Fortunately for them, they face the Reds, a team that finds it even more difficult to hit hits and that does not even average 7 hits in the last 10 games.

Guerrero Jr continues to lead his team, with 33 doubles, a triple and 26 HR. Varsho is catching on, hitting 11-for-39 with 2 HRs in the last 10 games.

Martinez is the pitcher scheduled by the Reds for the decisive game, he has a 6-6 record, 3.25 ERA. Against the Blue Jays Martinez is 1-1 with a 4.91 ERA in 3 starts. Martinez has the best streak for a Reds pitcher since 2016 in not allowing a BB, he has done it for 24 innings.
