The PLAY: Toronto Blue Jays +1.5 (-160) Shane Bieber (RHP) Must Start
Blue Jays vs Mariners MLB Free Pick
The Angle: The Blue Jays hand the ball to veteran right-hander Shane Bieber (0-0, 6.00 ERA), who will be making his third start of the season after being sidelined for the first three months due to right elbow inflammation. While his small-sample surface metrics look inflated, Bieber is a proven ace who should be settling into his rhythm with a couple of starts now under his belt. Furthermore, he brings massive psychological confidence into this matchup, carrying a solid 2.30 ERA across seven career starts against Seattle.
The Mariners counter with Logan Gilbert (6-5, 3.42 ERA) who was touched up for four runs in his last outing and has struggled mightily to control traffic in his home ballpark, laboring through an elevated 4.63 ERA at T-Mobile Park compared to his 1.73 ERA on the road.
Toronto enters this contest in decent form, having won three of their last four games. They have been highly profitable for bettors in this exact spot, carrying a 12-13 record as road underdogs this season, while Seattle is only 14-23 against the runline as home favorites.
The moneyline is not a bad beat either, but I'm going with the runline.
The Bet: Blue Jays +1½ (3%).

----Handicapping Methodology----
As a former online poker pro, Mike knows the value of creating systems and winning formulas through statistical analysis and math to use as a baseline, but much like poker, sports are played by human beings with emotions and feelings.
Identifying letdown spots, bounce-back spots and situational betting in general plays a big part in Mike's success in picking winners, but he's also not a stranger to locking in a bet based on stats and trends alone.
