Toronto Blue Jays throw shade at Michigan Football program during win vs. Guardians

Well, this was a bit uncalled for.

During Saturday’s game between the Toronto Blue Jays and Cleveland Guardians, whoever runs the Blue Jays Twitter account decided to throw some shade at the Michigan Football program.

“Teams wearing Blue don’t usually score touchdowns in Ohio on Saturday afternoons. We did though”

This may be true but considering the Wolverines destroyed the Buckeyes this past season, the timing of this tweet is odd.

MLB Betting Guide: Monday 5/9/22

numberFire has built comprehensive algorithms to pinpoint the bets with the highest probability of returning money, whether you are betting on the total, a runline, or moneyline.

For those new to numberFire, we use a five-star system to show which bets you should be targeting on any given night. Stars represent how much you should risk on a wager relative to what you would normally bet. For example, if you would normally bet $110 to win $100 on a -110 spread wager, if we give a three-star ranking, we suggest risking three times that amount: $330 to win $300.

Using our model as a guide, let’s take a look at the best bets to make at FanDuel Sportsbook.

Oakland Athletics at Detroit Tigers

Over 7.0 (-112): 4-Star Rating Out of 5

I know offense is down and these two offenses stink, but 7.0 runs is a low line for a game in which Paul Blackburn and Michael Pineda are starting.

At various points in this career, Pineda has displayed some promising traits and metrics. It appears those days might be long gone. In 123 2/3 innings since the start of 2021, Pineda has pitched to a 4.35 SIERA and 18.6% strikeout rate while giving up 1.46 homers per nine. He’s got a 14.0% strikeout rate for the Detroit Tigers in the early going of this campaign.
