Toronto Blue Jays vs Arizona Diamondbacks Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 04/19/26

The Toronto Blue Jays enter a Sunday matchup against Arizona looking to end a 4-game losing streak, while the Diamondbacks look for the reverse result, going for a 5th straight win. Kevin Gausman (2.42 ERA, 0.85 WHIP) gets the start for Toronto who has been statistically one of the best starters in the league through 4 appearances. The veteran righty falls in the 90th percentile or better in pitching run value, chase percentage and strikeout rate. The matchup calls for Gausman success considering Arizona ranks below league average in practically every relevant offensive statistic against right-handed pitching. 

Arizona starter Ryne Nelson (3.54 ERA, 1.03 WHIP) on the other hand is outperforming his 4.42 xERA mark. Gausman has the edge to start, the offenses have posted relatively similar numbers and neither bullpen has been fantastic thus far. I’ll lean on a reliable arm in Gausman in this spot and take Toronto to be leading this one through the first 5 innings.
