<strong><u>Toronto</u></strong><strong><u> Blue Jays</u></strong>

FREE VLADIMIR GUERRERO JR.! The Blue Jays aren’t going anywhere this season. Or next season. Or for probably several seasons after that. If Vladimir Guerrero Jr. lives up to the hype, at least that would be a reason to pay attention. The Jays are well behind the Yankees, Red Sox, and Rays and expectations are very low this season. After all, Guerrero accounted for more than 25 percent of the team’s projected fWAR via the FanGraphs Depth Charts system before playing time adjustments.

The Blue Jays went 73-89 last year and got 14 of their wins against Baltimore. This is a team that was simply awful against lefties with a league-worst 15-38 record. It is also a team that was 31-60 against teams .500 or better and 42-29 against fellow losing teams. The Jays were 15 games under .500 on the road and 40-41 at home.

John Gibbons is gone. Charlie Montoyo has taken over. Aside from that, Toronto did very little this winter to improve the ballclub, so there aren’t a lot of positive feelings about this team. As a general rule, that typically creates betting value and there will be some spots in which we can play the Blue Jays.

&nbsp;

<strong><u>Money Line Spots</u></strong>

We should be able to get some decent prices, and likely some plus-money prices as well, by backing the Jays at home against fly ball pitchers. The Blue Jays have gotten on board with the fly ball revolution, as they ranked seventh in FB% and third in Pull%. Rogers Centre is a bad venue for ground ball hitters and a good venue for ground ball pitchers.

In terms of fly balls and line drives, only Coors Field and Yankee Stadium yielded a higher wOBA than Rogers Centre at .589. That was better than Texas, better than Fenway, better than Cincinnati, better than a lot of venues thought to be good hitter’s parks. When the Blue Jays face a fly ball pitcher, particularly one that has problems with right-handed hitters, Toronto will be worthy of consideration. This is also true of pitchers with bad command in general, even if they aren’t fly ball guys.

Perhaps playing 1st 5 inning bets in these situations will prove to be more fruitful, as the Jays don’t have a very good bullpen, but that will be a game-by-game consideration.

&nbsp;

<strong><u>Totals Spots</u></strong>

Obviously, there is some correlation then between fly ball pitchers and bad command guys and totals. Toronto will hit at home against those guys, so those will be good over betting opportunities. With Fenway and Yankee Stadium in the top five as well, the Blue Jays are plenty capable of getting some runs in those venues also. Toronto actually had the best record to the over last season.

Now, on the flip side, when ground ball pitchers show up at Rogers Centre, unders will be the flavor of the day. The Jays did improve their infield defense with Freddy Galvis, which should help them. In terms of ground ball batting average, Rogers Centre was sixth behind Oakland, Arizona, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and San Diego. One of those places has a humidor and the others all have that cool marine air that keeps the grass nice and lush.

As a team at Rogers Centre, the Blue Jays batted just .217 on ground balls. That was the lowest home batting average on ground balls in the league. They really are a feast or famine offense depending on the opposing pitcher.

&nbsp;

<strong><u>Individual Players to Watch</u></strong>

<strong>Marcus Stroman – </strong>Who is Marcus Stroman? Stroman posted a 5.54 ERA last season, but much better numbers otherwise with a 3.91 FIP and a 3.84 xFIP. He had a 62.1 percent GB%, which should, theoretically, play extremely well at home. He had a .260 average against at home with a .319 wOBA and a 5.29 ERA. He was, in fact, worse on the road with a .297 average against and a .339 wOBA. He had a 5.76 ERA.

Stroman was hurt last season and also ran into a ton of bad luck thanks to bad defense and a 60.5 percent LOB%. On the other hand, some of the LOB% problems were self-inflicted with a drop in K% 19.7 percent to 17.2 percent. The market will like Stroman early with the big ERA/xFIP discrepancy. I’m going to need to get some data before I buy in.

<strong>Sean Reid-Foley and Thomas Pannone – </strong>Right now, the ceiling for the Jays rotation is very low. Stroman and Aaron Sanchez have had their problems. Ryan Borucki pitched about as well as he could, but he’s a regression candidate with a low K rate. It looks like Matt Shoemaker and Clayton Richard, a very extreme ground ball guy, are going to make the rotation.

The upside guys are Reid-Foley and Pannone and they should be in the front five sooner rather than later. Reid-Foley actually misses bats. Pannone is a standard-issue lefty with a three-pitch mix and good command. I’ll be eagerly anticipating when these guys arrive later in the year because a forgotten Blue Jays team could yield more value at that point.

New York Islanders vs Arizona Coyotes Betting Pick & Prediction 1/4/24

At the 11th hour, the Xfinity Series found a sponsor for this weekend’s race at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, California. Say hello to the Production Alliance Group 300. This race will consist of 150 laps around the two-mile track. The Xfinity Series will be idle next week when the Cup Series heads to Martinsville.

This is the fifth race of 26 set for the regular season. The next race, which takes place at Texas Motor Speedway on March 30, will also seem as a qualifying race for the first Dash 4 Cash event. The three races in April and the first race of May will be Dash 4 Cash events. No Cup Series drivers can run those events, so we’re getting into a sweet spot on the schedule for the points-eligible guys.

Odds are on the right-hand side for desktop viewers and below the comment box for mobile viewers as we look at the Production Alliance Group 300 with help from <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/5dimes"><strong>5Dimes</strong></a>.
<h5><strong>Busch Bash</strong></h5>
Kyle Busch is in the field this week. Kyle Busch is the favorite at -145. This will be the third straight Xfinity Series race for Busch and he is looking for his third straight win. He led the most laps at both Las Vegas and Phoenix en route to the win. Stage wins went to Cole Custer and Tyler Reddick at Las Vegas and to Austin Cindric and Christopher Bell at Phoenix, but the all-important wins went to Busch.

This development is suboptimal for the Xfinity Series guys. As mentioned last week, Busch only won once in his seven starts last year. Over the previous two years, Busch won 15 of his 27 races. Busch is 16-for-34 over the last three years. This is an oversimplification of odds and implied probabilities, but 47.06 percent would be +112.

Busch actually hasn’t won in his last three tries at California at this level, but has been in the top three each of those years.

Oh, yeah, and he’s a four-time winner of this race.
<h5><strong>Xtra Intrigue?</strong></h5>
Here is the Xfinity Series, wins can be tough to come by. Austin Dillon won this race in 2016. Outside of that, dating back to 2009, Busch has four wins, Joey Logano has two, Kyle Larson has two, and Kevin Harvick has one. In other words, the Xfinity drivers haven’t stood much of a chance in this race in the past.

This week, Busch is the only Cup guy that they have to worry about. Christopher Bell is the closest thing to a Cup guy in the Xfinity Series and he is the second favorite at +450. He could have won last week, but went into the wall after another driver’s engine blew in front of him. That wreck also took out Justin Allgaier. That made it real easy for Busch to win.

Speaking of Allgaier, he’s the fourth favorite this week at +1050. Cole Custer is +780. Nothing against the 21-year-old, but he has two wins in more than two full years of Xfinity Series starts. It is really, really hard to take him at any price point under double digits. Anytime there is a Cup Series guy or two in the field, it adjusts Bell’s price, making him just about the only guy worth taking.
<h5><strong>Cats, Bags, Etc.</strong></h5>
So, with that in mind, are there any value guys or did I let the cat out of the bag? Look, it’s NASCAR. There is always the chance that somebody else wins. Allgaier had five wins last year. Spencer Gallagher, Ryan Preece, and Chase Briscoe had wins. Tyler Reddick had wins at Daytona and Homestead. John Hunter Nemechek won at Kansas.

It happens. Of the regular season races that weren’t Dash 4 Cash events or solo events, Cup Series guys had 13 wins. That means we exclude the four Dash 4 Cash events, Iowa twice, Road America, and Mid-Ohio. Of those 18 races, Cup guys won 13. It’s a tough sell when any are in the field. Fortunately, there is only one this week.

You can look for some value bets in races without Cup Series guys. For now, when those guys are present, your options are basically Cup guys, Bell, or Allgaier.
<h5><strong>Picks</strong></h5>
It’s hard to lay -145 with Kyle Busch, but he’s 2-for-2 in the Toyota Supra at this level. Justin Allgaier ran really well here last year and Christopher Bell runs well just about everywhere. It would be nice to have something creative or outside of the box for you here, but it’s just too hard to find given how top-heavy this field is.

Horse race betting can be traced all the way back to the 1600s in Great Britain, and the actual sport of horse racing goes back even further. With the growth and popularity of legal sports betting, some people have forgotten about betting on horse races.

<h2>The Titans beat Jacksonville to stop a two-game slide     </h2>



<p>The Tennessee Titans (9-4; 8-5 ATS) enjoyed their well-deserved rest in Week 13. They trounced the lowly Jacksonville Jaguars 20-0 this past Sunday to snap a two-game skid. In their last two showings before a bye, the Titans got beaten by Houston 22-13 and New England 36-13.</p>



<p>Tennessee’s defense is certainly one of the most pleasant surprises of the 2021 season. Last weekend, the Titans recorded their first home shutout since 2000. They held the Jags to 192 total yards and picked off rookie Trevor Lawrence a whopping four times.</p>



<p>The Titans are yielding 22.3 points per game (15<sup>th</sup> in the NFL) on 90.9 rushing yards (2<sup>nd</sup>) and 250.7 passing yards (22<sup>nd</sup>). On the other side of the ball, D’Onta Foreman leads Tennessee’s backfield in Derrick Henry’s absence. He had 32 carries for 156 yards and a TD over his previous two appearances.</p>



<h2>The Steelers nearly overcame a 29-point deficit in Week 14         </h2>



<p>The Pittsburgh Steelers (6-6-1; 5-8 ATS) are coming off a tough 36-28 defeat at the Minnesota Vikings in Week 14. They trailed 29-0 with 6:15 left on the clock in the third quarter when Ben Roethlisberger started his masterclass, but the Steelers eventually failed to mount the biggest comeback in NFL history.</p>



<p>Big Ben finished 28-of-40 for 308 yards, three touchdowns, and an interception. Chase Claypool had eight catches for 93 yards, but his 1<sup>st</sup>-down celebration in the final drive of the clash cost the Steelers 17 seconds. It was arguably the dumbest move of the season, as Pittsburgh ran out of time and suffered its third loss in the last four outings.</p>



<p>The Steelers’ defense has struggled during that four-game stretch. Both Chargers and Bengals have dropped 41 points on Pittsburgh that has held its opponents to 27 or fewer points through the first nine weeks of the season.</p>



<p><strong>Trends:</strong></p>



<p><strong>Tennessee:</strong></p>



<ul><li>1-4 SU in the last five road games against Pittsburgh</li></ul>



<p><strong>Pittsburgh:</strong></p>



<ul><li>4-0-1 SU in the last five games at home&nbsp;</li><li>6-2 SU in the last eight games against Tennessee</li><li>10-3 SU in the last 13 home games against the AFC South&nbsp;&nbsp;</li></ul>



<h2 id="h-tennessee-titans-vs-pittsburgh-steelers-pick">Tennessee Titans vs. Pittsburgh Steelers Pick</h2>



<p>The Steelers have to beat Tennessee if they want to stay alive in the wild-card chase. Their defense needs to step up in front of the home fans, and the Steelers have surrendered just 20.2 points per contest over their previous five outings at Heinz Field.</p>



<p>Pittsburgh’s offensive line is another key factor. The Steelers have to slow down the Titans’ pass rush, while Tennessee allows a lot of short passes which is an encouraging sign for the Steelers’ struggling offense.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Take Pittsburgh Steelers to Win at -110&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p><strong>The Total:</strong></p>



<p>The over is 4-1-1 in the last six meetings between the Titans and Steelers, and it is 7-1 in Tennessee’s previous eight outings on the road. Furthermore, four of Pittsburgh’s last six games have gone over the total, so the betting trends are clearly suggesting the over in this one.</p>



<p>I don’t think we’ll see a high-scoring affair, as both teams have struggled to score as of late. Tennessee misses Derrick Henry a lot, and the Titans haven’t scored more than 23 points in four straight outings. Both Tennessee and Pittsburgh need a strong defensive performance to grab a win here.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Go under 43.0 points at -110</strong></p>

Major League Baseball (MLB) might not be the most popular sport in the world to wager on, but it still presents a really good betting option. MLB betting comes in many different forms, and this is a season that presents plenty of betting opportunities as well.

Major League Baseball was founded all the way back in 1876, but the league has obviously gone through some major changes since that time. Most of the major rules are still in place, but the way that the game is played is now much different.

There are currently 30 teams in MLB, and every team plays 162 games during the regular season. MLB games typically start at the end of March, or early April, and the World Series wraps up during the first week of November.

MLB teams are split up into leagues and divisions, but there is now more crossover games than ever before. The American League and National League now operate under the same basic rules, and that keeps things similar regardless of what league you are looking at.

Knowing the best MLB betting sites &amp; sportsbooks is also important if you plan to bet on MLB, and this article will explore that as well. By the time you are done reading this article, you should be ready to bet on baseball.

Might we remind you that the Rutgers Scarlet Knights made it to the NCAA Tournament (and the Final Four) undefeated in 1976, the same year Indiana went through the whole thing without a scratch and made history. Now, with Gonzaga unbeaten and ready to become the first team since then to be spotless and win a national title, can Rutgers get heroic again?

The Scarlet Knights had not won in the NCAA tourney since 1983, before turning back Clemson in the first round. But that was a very bumpy ride, and things only get more difficult as they face the Houston Cougars, who had a bit of a cruise against Cleveland State in what was Kelvin Sampson's return to Indiana's Assembly Hall.

This time the teams gather at Lucas Oil Stadium in a game that begins at 7:10 PM ET in TBS. <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betanysports">BetAnySports</a> customers get to participate in real-time wagering while they watch, through Sports Betting Prime.

NCAA Tournament @ Indianapolis
RUTGERS SCARLET KNIGHTS vs. HOUSTON COUGARS, 7:10 PM ET

March Madness Basketball Odds: Houston -8 / Total 132

Sampson, as you may know, was embroiled in recruiting violations at Indiana, and he was hit with a five-year "show cause penalty" by the NCAA. We'd say he has come back with a flourish.

And he did it while Caleb Mills, who was the leading returning scorer for this team, opted out of the rest of the season after just four games. No worries; Quentin Grimes has taken things over and had an All-America season.

You really have to commend Rutgers in general; there were plenty of observers who questioned why they would join the Big Ten. But after hiring Greg Schiano,the football team has become very competitive. And Steve Pikiell, who had previously been to the Big Dance with Stony Brook, is in the process of turning the hoops squad around.

Yes, they finished 11-11 in the Big Ten, but that is the toughest conference in the nation. Rutgers posted wins over plenty of capable opponents, beating the likes of Illinois, Maryland and Purdue, and they deserved their bid. They have some impressive bulk up front with Myles Johnson and Ron Harper Jr., but they are not a big threat from the outside, and the last thing you want to do against this Houston team is be one-dimensional.

The Cougars strangle opponents; they are #1 in the nation in Effective Field Goal Percentage defense (43%). They are ranked fourth in the nation defending two-pointers (42.9%), ninth against three-pointers (28.8%). They send teams to the line more than most, but they send the right people,as foes have made just 65% of their free throws. And for a team without anyone bigger than 6-8 in the rotation, they block quite a few shots.

These are not dead-eye shooters on this Houston team. But Rutgers needs to be ready to defend the defensive boards, as the Cougars are second best in the country in Offensive Rebounding Percentage, with almost a 40% success rate.

We should probably mention that Rutgers has suffered six of its losses by double digits, so they've had breakdowns. And Houston is fully capable of bringing that kind of thing on. Lay it.
