MLB Betting Trends
Detroit
The Tigers are just 2-6 in their last eight against AL East opponents and 19-46 in their last 65 road games.
Toronto
The Blue Jays have won 10 of their last 11 at home and five straight Sunday games. They also have won seven of Happ’s last eight home starts.
Prediction:
Zimmerman hasn’t been terrible on the road, but he hasn’t been great either. Happ has given the Jays a nice boost on the mound this year and he is coming off a big win over the Astros in his last start. Toronto has won six of his last eight starts and I think they will find a way past the Jays again.
The Pick: Toronto Blue Jays -200
