Blue Jays vs Rays MLB Betting Preview, Prediction
This is my favorite bet of the day right here.
Max Scherzer is getting the start, and he's been a complete gas can for power this season, allowing a massive 2.41 HR/9 (including a 2.16 HR/9 to righties).
He's not the same pitcher he used to be, and Junior Caminero is one of the best power hitters in the league.
I have the true odds here around +230, making this a great bet.
Pick: Junior Caminero Home Run (+320)
