Toronto Blue Jays vs Milwaukee Brewers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 04/15/26

The Toronto Blue Jays grabbed Game 1 of their series with the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday night, and I look for them to snag another win Wednesday evening. Toronto holds a major starting pitching edge in Game 2 with Dylan Cease taking on Chad Patrick. Cease has been outstanding so far in a Blue Jay uniform, striking out 26 batters in just 14.2 innings of work. His 9 walks issued have prevented him from working overly deep into games so far, but he has still been more than impressive. Milwaukee presents a tough matchup given their patient nature and their ability to pounce on mistake pitches, but Cease does have very solid head-to-head numbers against this Brewers lineup.

Chad Patrick tossed 9.1 innings of 1-run ball against the White Sox and Royals in his first 2 appearances of the season. His 3rd outing was a relief appearance after Aaron Ashby opened the game against Washington. While Patrick did toss 3 scoreless frames in that start, and his current ERA sits at 0.73, there are concerning signs of regression in his game. Patrick ranks just 10th percentile with his 13.7% strikeout rate, and he has been fortunate to strand every single base runner so far. His 4.30 FIP is far higher than Cease and his 1.66 mark, and I side with Toronto in this game at current pricing.
