Interleague baseball betting play is just around the corner, but a pair of major rivalries each still have another tilt on the sked tonight. Let’s make some MLB betting picks for the Cubs vs Cardinals odds and the Red Sox vs Blue Jays odds.
Red Sox vs Blue Jays odds—Jon Lester (2-4, 6.51) vs Robert Ray (1-1, 3.60), 7:10 p.m. ET
MLB odds: Red Sox -200, Blue Jays +170
You can almost hear Blue Jays odds supporters leaping off the bandwagon already after Toronto lost two of three to the Yankees last week and now stares down a sweep at the hands of the Red Sox . No-name hurler Robert Ray doesn’t exactly inspire confidence in sportsbook players tonight. He hasn’t been half bad for the Jays so far this season but his solid home outings against the White Sox and Orioles can’t possibly prepare him for the experience of pitching before a hostile crowd at Fenway. Jon Lester has struggled in baseball betting this season but he’s 17-4 all-time at Fenway and his friendly surroundings give him as good a chance as any to bounce back. Bet on the Red Sox to pull off the sweep.
Baseball betting pick: Red Sox -200
Cubs vs Cardinals odds—Sean Marshall (2-2, 4.02) vs Adam Wainwright (3-2, 3.83),
MLB odds: Cubs +120, Cardinals -140
Here‘s an example of how baseball betting lines can be deceiving. The Cards are just a mild favorite at home when they’re actually a rock-solid pick tonight.
