MLB odds and best bets for 5/6: White Sox vs. Red Sox, Rays vs. Mariners and more

Tonight's game features White Sox vs. Red Sox. The team is playing well. Vince Velasquez is pitching well for the Red SOx. The game is being played in New York. It's too early in the season to be focused on outcomes alone. One of the ideal goals for handicapping MLB is sustainability. No bet is better than a bad bet. There will be ups and downs in a sometimes irrational market. Don't get hung up on the small stuff. If you have a problem with analyzing a game, you should leave it for later. You should never bet with critical capital until you've proven success on paper for 60 days.

The full game line for Boston Red Sox vs. White Sox is -1.5.

Matt Wisler will open for TB. J.D. Martinez is betting on Jamey Gilbert. Gilbert is one of my favorite young pitchers. He has a good arsenal with a changeup. He's yet to go fewer than 5 IP or allow more than 1 ER in a single start. The best is still yet for Gilbert, with some maturation in the positive environment for him. White Sox vs. Red Sox, Rays vs Mariners and more are on the list.

The Seattle Mariners are playing against the Red Sox in the first game of the MLB season.
