MLB Betting Trends
Toronto
The Blue Jays are just 3-14 in their last 17 games against a left-handed starter and they have also lost seven straight Saturday games.
Detroit
The Tigers have won six of their last seven at home against a left-handed starter. They have also won seven of their last 10 against AL East opponents.
Prediction:
While Haap has been very good on the mound for Toronto, I don’t like the Jays hitting right now. Boyd has been pretty good in his own right and he will be at home with a surging roster behind him. The Tigers have seen their pitching numbers continue to improve while Toronto has been struggling at the plate.
The Pick: Detroit Tigers +125
