MLB Betting Trends

Toronto

The Blue Jays are 7-3 in their last 10 road games versus a right-handed starter. Toronto is 3-13 in its last 16 interleague games.

Los Angeles

The Dodgers are 5-0 in the last five Buehler interleague starts. Los Angeles is 7-1 in the last eight meetings.

Prediction: 

This probably won't be a complete annihilation like last night, but Buehler is having a fantastic season and is going to give the Jays a much different look than Kershaw. With Toronto likely to use several underwhelming pitchers, the LA offense should feast again. Go with the runline bet again for a team as good at home as the Dodgers are.
