MLB ALCS Picks — Best Bets (Game 6)
Best Bet: Blue Jays ML -128 at Mariners
The handicap: With Seattle up 3–2, Toronto leans into a must-have road script: early swing decisions to generate lift, then a leverage tree that can stack strikeouts through the seventh. The Jays’ top-end righty pop matches well against Seattle’s fastball shapes, and a first-score scenario flips the bullpen edge toward the visitors.
Best Bet: Under 7.5 (-115)
The handicap: October baseball compresses scoring: quicker hooks, matchup relievers in the fifth/sixth, and premium velocity late. Both staffs have been efficient stranding runners; eight runs require multiple timely extra-base swings—less likely in a Game 6 bullpen-forward script.

Today’s MLB ALCS Long Shot Picks
Long Shot: Mariners +1.5 (-200)
In a tight, low-total environment, the run cushion plays. Seattle’s late-inning arms can hold a one-run margin even if Toronto controls early innings, giving plus-EV protection at home.
Long Shot: Blue Jays -1.5 (+170)
If Toronto lands first punch, their leverage bridge can protect a two-plus run gap. The plus price captures the most likely separation path when the Jays’ righty bats square velocity.

Public Betting Snapshot (Moneyline)
- See today’s MLB public betting percentages (moneyline only).
- Comparison note: If the public majority lands opposite our play (e.g., heavy Mariners ML vs our Blue Jays ML), that can indicate contrarian value on the favorite; if public piles on Toronto and we’re Under, market pressure may tick the total.
Trends & Notes
- First-score leverage: The team that opens scoring controls bullpen order and pinch-hit windows.
- Late-inning K%: October usage elevates strikeout arms in the sixth–eighth, muting rallies and favoring Unders.
- Contact management: Extra-base prevention and outfield range often decide one-run LCS games.
