Thursday MLB Free Pick
(The Spread) – The Blue Jays will host the Yankees tonight at 7:07PM ET when baseball officially kicks off its second half.
Odds: Oddsmakers from online sports book Bodog currently list the visiting Yankees as –137 money line favorites over the Blue Jays, who are +129 on the ML. The over/under total for this game is currently 9.5 runs.
Pitching Matchup: Bartolo Colon will take on Jo-Jo Reyes in tonight’s pitching matchup. Colon has been a pleasant surprise this year for the Yankees, posting a 6-4 record with a 3.20 ERA over 90 innings. On the other side, Reyes has been a disappointment so far, posting a 4-7 record with a 4.58 ERA and just 59 strikeouts.
Public Betting: Of the 4,800-plus wagers on tonight’s game, 73% of MLB public bettors favor the Yankees –137.
MLB Free Pick: I don’t usually recommend spending over –130 on the money line, but there isn’t a full list of games to choose from today and the Yankees are too good of a value to pass up – even at –137. According to latest MLB trends, the Bombers are 4-1 in their last five games against the Blue Jays and 4-0 in Colon’s last four road starts. Meanwhile, the Jays are 1-4 in their last five during Game 1 of a series and 1-5 in their last six contests as a home underdog. Take the Yankees.
