MLB Betting Trends

Toronto

The Blue Jays are just 3-8 in their last 11 road games, but they are 5-1 in Thornton’s last six starts against a losing team.

Detroit

The Tigers are 14-42 in their last 56 home games and 11-44 in their last 55 overall.

Prediction:

Detroit is a mess and they send Norris to the mound today. He has given up 11 runs over his last 10.2 innings and hasn’t had a strong outing in some time. Thornton hasn’t been pitching well as of late either, but he has been regularly up against solid lineups like Boston, New York and Houston. The Tigers haven’t been able to consistently score and their bullpen is a mess. So, even if Norris pitches well, his bullpen isn’t likely to help him.

MLB Prediction: Toronto Blue Jays -120
