Season: 55-39, +8.67 RWBucks
Blue Jays at Orioles, 7:05 p.m. EDT
There is only one way I can see betting this game, and that is going over the Blue Jays' run total of 6.5. It sounds crazy that they need to score seven runs, but the historical trends agree with us.
The WynnBet money line on the Jays is a whopping -210 on the road and the total is 11. All of this adds to the Jays putting up a big number. The Orioles are 17-5 to the over in their last 22 home games and most of that damage is from the visiting teams. The Jays have scored seven or more runs in thee of five games in Baltimore.
BET: Blue Jays over 6.5 runs (+100) for 1 RWBuck
Pirates at Mets, 7:10 p.m. EDT
JT Brubaker vs. Taijuan Walker
One of the alternative bets I like at WynnBet is the first five innings, especially when the pitching matchup is close, both teams are offensively challenged, and we get a low total. All the boxes are checked here with the Pirates and Mets. The game total of 7.5 is probably a little high, so we get about a half run of value. The teams rank 29th and 30th in F5 runs per game, and the Mets have played toward the under at home all year. The Pirates rank 29th on the road and the Mets rank last at home for F5 runs scored.
BET: Under 4 runs F5 (-110) for 1 RWBuck
Tigers at Twins, 8:10 p.m. EDT
The Tigers have struck out the most against left-handed pitching all year, however they are hitting now and have been for a while. Happ is not a strikeout pitcher and has struggled all year, while Skubal has been good for the last two months. The Tigers have a winning record against lefties (14-12) and are 22-17 in their last 39 games. They also rank eighth overall in runs scored over the last month and have scored at least five runs in seven of their last 8 games.
BET: Tigers over 4.5 runs (-105) for 1 RWBuck
BET: Tigers -1.5 runs (+170) for 1 RWBuck
