Why the AI made this pick

The line has moved 9 cents in favor of the San Diego Padres +1.5 since opening. The Home Plate Umpire, Jen Pawol, has a strong over lean with 10.8 R/g, which is +1.71 runs above the league average. This favors the Padres covering the run line if runs are scored. Both bullpens are tired. The Blue Jays' starter Kevin Gausman has a 4.32 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 1.27 HR/9. Padres' Fernando Tatis Jr. has a 0.400 AVG and 2 HR in 21 PA against Gausman. Given the low EV and potential rain risk, this is a lean. Sized at 2u — confidence 65, low EV, taking it lighter.
