MLB Baseball Betting Action - Blue Jays Host Kansas City Royals
The Kansas
City Royals, (21-25, 23-23 RL) have
been a big sports betting surprise
in the early going of the 2008 online
betting season under first-year manager
Trey Hillman, but have drooped four straight
and five of their last six games coming
into tonight’s MLB baseball betting
contest against the Toronto Blue Jays,
(23-25, 21-27 RL), including an emphatic
four-game sweep at the hands of the Boston
Red Sox that was concluded with Thursday’s
11-8 loss.
After dropping two straight to the Los
Angeles Angels, the Blue Jays exacted
some revenge on Thursday, beating the
Angels 4-3.
Tonight’s
contest figures to be a classic pitcher’s
duel with each team sending excellent
starting pitchers to the mound tonight.

Toronto
sends its own staff ace, former AL
Cy Young award winner, Roy Halladay
(4-5, 3.38) to the mound for his first
start in over a week. The right-hander
allowed four runs on nine hits in his
last start against the Minnesota Twins
on May 14 though he picked up the win
in Toronto’s 6-5 victory. Halladay
is 7-3 with a 3.11 ERA in 12 career starts
against the Royals.
Here
is a look at tonight’s key
trends followed by my MLB Betting Picks.
The Royals
are 5-0 in Greinke’s
last five starts during game one of a
series.
The Royals
are 5-1 in Greinke’s
last six starts with the total set at
7.0-8.5.
The Blue
Jays are 30-5 in Halladay’s
last 35 home starts with the total set
at 7.0-8.5.
The Blue
Jays are 27-5 in Halladay’s
last 32 starts as a home favorite of
-151 to -200.
The Under
is 4-0 in Greinke’s
last four starts as a road underdog of
+110 to +150.
The Under
is 4-0 in Halladay’s
last four starts as a home favorite of
-151 to -200.
The Under is 6-1 in the last seven meetings.
The Blue
Jays are 9-3 in Halladay’s
last 12 starts vs. Royals.
Analysis:
This is an extremely tough call, but
ultimately I’m going
with the Jays at home behind a very well
rested Halladay. While this game could
be closer than expected, I say take the
Blue Jays.
