My free play for tonight is the Seattle Mariners plus the money against the travel-weary Toronto Blue Jays.
Makes no sense the line is what it is, when you have a pitcher who has dominated Toronto throwing, you have the hotter team that has won three in a row, and you're facing a team that has hit a snag and now lost two straight.
Seattle hands the ball to Yusei Kikuchi, who is 2-0 against the Blue Jays in his career, with a stifling 0.56 ERA. On of those meetings was this season, on July 1, when he shut down the Jays to the tune of one run on five hits in seven innings. He made one mistake and a let a solo shot leave the yard.
The M's are on a 6-3 roll with him on the slab, and given how well they've been playing this week, the momentum carries over.
And speaking of July 1, that was the only time Hyun Jin Ryu pitched against the Mariners, and boy did he regret it. Seattle's offense tattered him in four innings, and with the way it's been hitting the ball, I can see it happening again.
Home dog is the value here.
