MLB odds: The Toronto Blue Jays have been the surprise team of Major League Baseball so far this season as they are finally living up to the hype of last year when the fell flat on their faces as the last place team in the American League East after being picked to win the pennant for 2013. Meanwhile the Detroit Tigers are again looking like the team to beat in the woefully mediocre American League Central that has become their personal playground. The Detroit Tigers will host the Toronto Blue Jays on Thursday afternoon at Comerica Park with coverage on MLBN starting at 1:08 PM ET. The probable starters were right hander Drew Hutchison for Toronto and right hander Justin Verlander for Detroit.
Blue Jays Go Green
The Toronto Blue Jays were the third most profitable team on the board with the MLB Odds and were also to top run line team on the board after two months of action. Toronto was 16-11 on the road and 36-22 with the run line. The Blue Jays ranked 2nd in Major League Baseball for run production but pitching remained a concern as they ranked 22nd for earned run average.
Centrally Located
The Detroit Tigers have the great fortune to reside in the AL Central with 4 sub-.500 teams that trailed them with the MLB Odds. The Tigers were overlays that were operating in the red at home and on the run line.
The Pick
Toronto has been an outstanding value as should command a good price on the board as a road team against a popular team with bettors that is often overpriced. We’ll take the Toronto Blue Jays in this one!
