Best Bets: Thursday, April 6

Red Sox @ Tigers | 11:10 AM CST | NESN

Bet	Red Sox	Tigers	Play
Moneyline	-146	+120
Run Line	-1.5 (+115)	+1.5 (-140)
Total	Over 8 (-110)	Under 8 (-110)

 

A few nights ago we played the Red Sox under and called for their offense to be cooling against the Pirates. At the time, they were surprisingly the highest-scoring offense in baseball. And we timed it upright. That game went under and the Sox have scored a combined two runs in the last two games. Chris Sale toes the rubber for the Sox tonight and I fully expect him to bounce back. He was ok in his first start but gave up the long ball and it really hurt him. He ended up surrendering three home runs and seven earned over 3 innings. He’ll be better today. Spencer Turnbull also struggled in his opener. The Rays kind of blitzed him in the first inning and he never fully got back into it. I like a bounceback for both of these starting pitchers, facing a few fading offenses. I like the under tonight.

 

THE PICK: Under 8 (-110)

Blue Jays @ Royals | 12:10 PM CST | BSKC

Bet	Blue Jays	Royals	Play
Moneyline	-225	+180
Run Line	-1.5 (-130)	+1.5 (-105)
Total	Over 8 (-110)	Under 8 (-110)

The Blue Jays took the series opener last night in Kansas City in a game that featured an excellent pitching matchup. Alek Manoah was fantastic allowing no runs over 7 IP. Zack Greinke was equally as good allowing just one run in 6 IP. Things don’t get any easier for this scuffling Royals lineup as they’ll face Kevin Gausman, AKA ace number two for the Jays. Gausman was a hard-luck loser in his first outing as he punched out 7 over 6 IP, allowing 3 unearned runs. I like Guasman to absolutely dominate this struggling Royals lineup.

THE PICK: Blue Jays -1.5 (-130)
