Friday MLB Opening Odds
(The Spread) – Oddsmakers have released the odds for Friday’s MLB games. Check out the opening lines and totals for today’s baseball action.
A couple of new series will kick off today, including a three-game set between the Boston Red Sox and Toronto Blue Jays. The Red Sox are coming off another successful series against their biggest rivals, the Yankees, while the Blue Jays have won two of their last three games.
Oddsmakers from online sports book Bodog have made the visiting Red Sox –140 money line favorites over the Blue Jays, who are +130 on the ML. The over/under total for this game opened at 9.5 runs.
In other American League action, the Oakland A’s will once again try to end their horrendous slump. After firing their manager Bob Geren, Oakland lost its 10th straight game in a 9-4 defeat at the hands of Chicago White Sox. The A’s are +130 money line underdogs against the White Sox on Friday.
In the National League, Anibal Sanchez will look to end the Marlins’ eight-game skid when Florida takes on the Arizona Diamondbacks. Sanchez is 5-1 on the year with a 2.97 ERA, so he’s a good pitcher to have on the hill for a team that has struggled mightily over the last week. The Marlins are –150 on the money line, while the Diamondbacks are +140.
Also in the NL, a pair of NL Central rivals will clash when the Milwaukee Brewers will host the St. Louis Cardinals at 8:10PM ET. According to latest MLB trends, the under is 10-3 in the last 13 meetings between these two teams in Milwaukee, while the Cardinals are 10-4 in their last 14 road games against the Cardinals.
