The Toronto Blue Jays continue to try and break out of the giant shadows cast by the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox in the AL East ahead of the 2023 season. While general manager Ross Atkins and president Mark Shapiro have undergone heavy criticism for not pulling the trigger in the past, they have made some solid moves this winter, ahead of a…

This is one of baseball's most exciting weekends for those who follow and love the MLB draft process. Later today is the All-Star Futures Game, where two Blue Jays prospects Ricky Tiedemann and Yosver Zulueta made the roster and could potentially pitch an inning or two in the game at some point through the day (start time 4. p.m. PT). On Monday the…

Hello and welcome back to FanPost Friday. Since today is the Mariners Home Opener and it is indeed a Friday yet again, we're going to do the same thing we did last week: meaningless, no-stakes prop bet polls! I promise I'll come up with something new to talk about next week when we have a slightly bigger sample size than seven games of…

After an All-Star break festooned with nostalgia, home runs, and bullpen dominance, the MLB schedule restarts Thursday, with some 70 games remaining for each team. So before the second half begins, let's dive into the top 10 story lines to monitor between now and October-because there's a whole lot of baseball left, and just as much drama on the…

The Los Angeles Dodgers (41-19) hit the road to begin a three-game set on the road against the Arizona Diamondbacks (30-30) in a good pitching matchup.

Philadelphia crushed Seattle last night, and with Robbie Ray's regression this season, we're not expecting the reigning Cy Young winner to save the M's this evening. Find out why Aaron Nola should continue to send the home side adrift in our Phillies vs. M The Philadelphia Phillies and Seattle Mariners clash in an interleague matchup on Tuesday…

With MLB free agency winding down, the league is beginning to take shape. Some teams have drastically improved their chances of competing in 2023 based on swift offseason moves. The New York Mets just pulled off a stunner to land Carlos Correa after the shortstop had previously agreed to a deal with the San Francisco Giants. Other teams such as the…

The Washington Nationals take on the Seattle Mariners. Check out our MLB odds series for our Nationals Mariners prediction and pick. Erick Fedde goes to the mound for the Nationals, while Robbie Ray will start for the Mariners. Erick Fedde has been injured and will be making his first start since July 24, one month ago. That is the first thing you…

It sounds more like the name of a movie or a book - Waiting for Godot, Waiting for Guffman, Waiting to Begin - but for now, it remains central to this impressive, fascinating and oddly puzzling Blue Jays season. The Jays have found themselves in the standings right about where they were expected to be - among the best teams in baseball. And they've…

Last year, Robbie Ray took the baseball world by surprise en route to winning the AL Cy Young. Could another left-handed pitcher come out of nowhere to take the trophy this year? As of now, the sportsbooks seem to think so since Shane McClanahan of the Tampa Bay Rays is the odds-on favorite to take home the prize. However, two-time winner Justin…

It's that time of year where many people start creating wish lists and hoping a jolly person in a suit will bring them the gift they want most. I'm not talking about the holidays, I'm talking about the baseball off-season, where that jolly person is a baseball executive and the gift is a free agent signing or trade for a player that makes next…

Just being able to write about the Detroit Tigers and any sort of realistic shot at making the playoffs is so refreshing, when such thoughts have been non existent for the past five years, basically since former owner Mike Ilitch passed away. But here we are, with the much heralded prospects arriving in the major leagues and the team actually…

The Seattle Mariners will try to win their 14th game in a row and complete a series sweep of the Texas Rangers on Sunday afternoon at Globe Life Field. It's time to continue our MLB odds coverage with a Mariners-Rangers prediction and pick. The Mariners defeated the Rangers 3-2 in extra innings to win their 13th consecutive game. Things started…

MY OH MY. It's time for Mariners Baseball! Honestly, I don't know how anyone in working America is going to get anything done today (or how they did Thursday). We've got the Masters going on, and baseball is starting. You're telling me I'm supposed to pay attention to my job when Tiger Woods is at Augusta and Robbie Ray is making his debut against…

It's amazing how quickly vibes can change during a baseball season, both for the better and worse. Last Saturday felt like the bottom was about to fall out of the Mariners season. Julio Rodríguez got hit on the wrist, and the immediate fear was a broken bone that would keep the rookie phenom out for months. On top of that, Seattle appeared poised…

DUNEDIN, Fla. -- Coming off a rebuild and two seasons as baseball's nomads, the Blue Jays are looking forward to Opening Day 2022 as much as any team in MLB. Toronto's 91-71 record left the club just short of the postseason in 2021, but the Blue Jays have restocked their talent following the departures of Robbie Ray and Marcus Semien, leaving them…

In his season opener, last year's AL Cy Young Award winner got off to a winning start with his new team, as Robbie Ray pitched the Seattle Mariners to a win over the Minnesota Twins. This evening, Ray will get the ball as the Mariners look to even up their MLB series with the Chicago White Sox. After edging the Twins 2-1 to open the season behind…

At the turn of the new year, Fangraphs' Effectively Wild - one of the best baseball podcasts around - dropped an episode where they discussed what baseball will look like in the 2020s. It is worth the listen if you have an hour, it's fun to imagine what the game will look like over the next ten years. Here at the Snakepit, we have spent most…

The Los Angeles Dodgers (72-62) will look to bounce back from a series-opening loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks (74-60) on Friday when they host them again as small home favorites at sportsbooks. The Dodgers fell two games behind the Diamondbacks in the race for the National League West title with a 3-1 loss on Thursday. MLB betting line: The…

The Toronto Blue Jays went 91-71 in the 2021 season and just narrowly missed the playoffs. Despite this disappointment last year, expectations are sky-high moving forward. The Blue Jays have one of the most optimistic lenses on their season heading into the year and are in search of their first World Series victory since 1993. This also will be the…

With Opening Day right around the corner, it's important to get ahead of as many predictions as possible. At least, it's more fun that way. Think about it like this: Just a few weeks ago, we weren't sure when we might watch Major League Baseball again. Here we are after every major free-agent signing and plenty of marquee trades, with a decent look…

The Arizona Diamondbacks entered the 2020 season considered by some to be a possible World Series contender. They won't have to worry about that in 2021 after a 25-35 record in 2020. Early MLB power rankings were released for the 2021 season after the Los Angeles' Dodgers took home the World Series title on Tuesday night and you have to scroll down…

Another winning day! We have been positive or even in five of the last six days. We swept the main card, but unfortunately, our bonus pick was lost. We had the over in Dodgers vs. Rockies, which was just the Dodgers as they put up 13 runs. We had the Reds through the first five innings, which ended in a walk-off. We had the Cubs as an underdog…

A postseason berth in the shortened pandemic campaign of 2020 helped advance the Toronto Blue Jays' timeline, and now they enter the new season as a team to watch in the American League. While it's fair to wonder whether they would have made the playoffs under normal circumstances, and if the stat lines of certain players would have leveled off…

The Tampa Bay Rays take on the Seattle Mariners in game one of a four-game set in Seattle. Both teams bring their aces to the mound, but one ace is better than the other. My co-host on Not Gambling Advice wrote up why Shane McClanahan is the next Rays ace, and it's hard to argue. Robbie Ray won the AL CY Young award last year with Toronto, but he…

The Seattle Mariners will host the Texas Rangers in the first game of their series in the American League West from T Mobile Park on Monday night. The weather is expected to be mildly humid with a 0% chance of rain and 7.2 miles per hour winds. The Seattle Mariners are coming off of a 3 run loss against the Houston Astros in their last game. The…

The Seattle Mariners look to halt their four-game losing streak and avoid a sweep when they visit the Chicago White Sox on Thursday afternoon for the finale of their three-game series. Seattle began the 2022 MLB season with a pair of one-run victories at Minnesota but has been outscored 23-10 while dropping its last four contests. Chicago reached…

The weather is expected to be mildly humid with a 0% chance of rain and 9.4 miles per hour winds. The Los Angeles Angels are coming off of a 1 run loss against the Oakland Athletics in their last…

Let's start with this: It's hard to imagine Justin Verlander signing with a team that doesn't have an obvious opportunity to compete for a World Series title in 2023 and 2024. He's won Cy Young awards; he picked up his third on after his stellar 1.75 ERA in 2022. He's even won an MVP award. He's won two World Series titles now, but I can tell you…

The National League and American League Division Series' will be trading days until the Championship League Series' are set. Today, we'll get our two American League matchups. I have one best bet for each of Seattle Mariners vs Houston Astros and Cleveland Guardians vs New York Yankees. Read about my betting angles below. Time: 3:37 p.m.…

And who will win it all? All those questions are answered below, and before you say you can't predict baseball, remember this: Jeff Blair has correctly called…

Fresh off a season that exceeded pre-season expectations, Seattle has one of the worst records in Major League Baseball. SEATTLE - The Seattle Mariners have reached what fans hope is a nadir this season, a stunning reversal from last season's team that galvanized the fan base and was within one game of breaking a two decades-long playoff…

MLB odds series for our Mariners Astros prediction and pick. Robbie Ray goes to the hill for the Mariners, while Cristian Javier takes the bump for the Astros. Robbie Ray has been one of the single most disappointing players in Major League Baseball this season, and that is not hyperbole. There's no exaggeration involved in viewing Ray as one of…

The Los Angeles Dodgers are 8-1 over their last nine games including a current stretch of five straight wins. The Dodgers will try to extend their winning streak to six on Friday night when they host the Arizona Diamondbacks in the first game of a three-game series. Los Angeles is a -190 favorite on the MLB odds for Friday's series opener at…

With the Super Bowl now in the rearview mirror and March Madness still weeks away, this would normally be the time of year when talk of the upcoming MLB season starts to heat up. Alas, the lockout rages on with no end in sight. But that doesn't mean we can't still look ahead to how the 2022 season might shake out once MLB and the MLBPA put an end…

Welcome to the Daily Dish, where we go through the MLB schedule for the day, giving you the starting pitcher matchups, and recent performance trends, and then listing some of our best bets if you choose to bet on the games.

Major League Baseball and the Toronto Blue Jays are available to bet on in Ontario with sportsbooks like DraftKings and BetMGM. Online sports betting first launched in the province just days before the 2022 MLB regular season began. The Blue Jays figure to be a popular team to bet on in Ontario's open commercial market. Toronto won the World Series…

The Diamondbacks are rebooting, and it is hard to blame them. The wall-to-wall changes began with the hiring of Hall of Fame manager Tony La Russa as chief baseball officer last May, and also include new GM Dave Stewart, new director of baseball operations De Jon Watson and new manager Chip Hale. While it remains to be seen if the overhaul from a…

There are multiple storylines for Ontario sports betting MLB betting fans to surveil concerning the Toronto Blue Jays as they roll into the final two months of the 2021 baseball season. The Blue Jays return Friday to the nest in Toronto for their first games in Canada since 2019 as the Jays play host to the Kansas City Royals in a weekend series.…

With the Blue Jays 2022 season quickly approaching, pending an agreement between the MLBPA and MLB, I want to look back on left-handed pitcher Hyun Jin Ryu's 2021 performance. Looking at his stats, you can see that last year was definitely one to forget. Was his 2021 season a sign of things to expect again, or will he make a comeback this…

The Diamondbacks made a late run at a Wild Card spot last season and could do it again in 2020. Switch-hitters Ketel Marte and Eduardo Escobar enjoyed career years, and even a slight regression would still make them two of the most productive players in the league. The D-backs added Madison Bumgarner to lead the rotation after trading Zack Greinke…

Let's get right to it: Not much is expected from the Arizona Diamondbacks this season. After a late-season collapse that cost them a playoff spot last year, the D-backs lost several of their top players to free agency (A.J. Pollock, Patrick Corbin) or via trade (Paul Goldschmidt) in the offseason. Most experts believe this year's squad will finish…

The Kansas City Royals are destined to have a better 2022 campaign than their previous season, but they will have plenty of competition along the way. Their schedule is no joke, nor are many of the teams they'll play over the course of the year. If the Royals are competitive this season, it will be well-earned. Alright, let's have some fun. Here is…

Robbie Ray takes the mound for the Seattle Mariners on Friday at Globe Life Field against Corey Seager and the Texas Rangers. First pitch is at 8:05 PM ET for the second game of a four-game series.
