I like the Jays here laying the small number. Jose Berrios will have to tame a Padres line-up that has had no issue putting up runs in recent games scoring four or more in six straight. Berrios has been very solid at home, with a 2.83 ERA over eight starts and a positive 4-2 mark. In contrast, Yu Darvish has struggled on the road with a less-than-impressive 5.52 ERA. The Jays have 80 at-bats against the right-hander, and they’ve had some success with a .287 BA, .345 OBP, and .945 OPS. Take Toronto -115
