Tampa Bay Rays @ Toronto Blue Jays:
Tampa Bay Rays (to win) /// 2.20
For the first time in a long time, I bet on a game that was not finished and I got a refund for the bet. What can I say... 2-1 in the 9th inning and rain stopped me from winning on that bet. At least the probability was very high. I don't put this bet in my stats, but in fact it should have won easily. My overall baseball betting score is still unchanged at 22-15 in favor of successful bets. New bet: we are flying into a very interesting series between playoff zone teams. Toronto Blue Jays take on the Tampa Bay Rays! The bookies have decided to make Toronto the favorite in the first game this series. Well, I agree with them here: it's a home series and the Blue Jays need to win more. That's understandable. But the level of play of the Rays in recent road games is very solid! And I think that after the previous lost series (against Toronto 23-24.09), Tampa will want revenge. I'm not saying that Tampa will win all the games in this series, but as long as the bookmakers make Tampa Bay the underdogs, it's a good bet. The
odds of 2.20 are very playable! Statistics tell us that Tampa Bay has beaten Toronto in 8 of the last 15 head-to-head games. Toronto has won only 8 of their last 15 games on their home field, and those were against teams from the bottom of the standings, such as the Boston Red Sox (10th place), Washington Nationals (13th place) and Kansas City Royals (14th place). Recent series losses have been against the New York Yankees, Texas Rangers, Cleveland Guardians and Chicago Cubs. We all realize that the Tampa Bay Rays are a top tier team this season! By the way, the Tampa Bay Rays have won 10 of their last 15 road games. They won the series against the Boston Red Sox, tied the series with Baltimore Oriols, won the series against Minnesota Twins, Miami Marlins, Los Angeles Angels (Shohei Ohtani played in those games), Detroit Tigers and San Francisco Giants. Tampa Bay has only lost 1 road series (Cleveland Guardians) in the last 2 months. Given Tampa Bay's high odds of 2.20,
the valuability odds - "10.00" just now. Offcourse I will bet on Tampa Bay!
