MLB | Blue Jays vs Mets
Play on: Blue Jays +153 at BMaker
Free pick on Blue Jays +153
I'm recommending playing the Blue Jays on the money line Tuesday. I really like the value with Toronto as a big road dog against the Mets. New York will have one of their big arms on the mound, as they send out Noah Syndergaard, but I believe it has them way over-priced.
He's pitched well so far in 2018, but hasn't been as good at home as he has on the road. Syndergaard has a 3.09 ERA in 8 starts overall, with a 3.62 ERA in 5 home outings. He's also in an unusual spot, as his last start was pushed back due to a rain delay coming after he had already warmed up. He last took the mound for a start way back on May 6th.
The other big thing here is the Mets' offense is struggling to put runs on the board. New York has scored a whopping 8 runs in their last 4 games combined and have put up 3 or fewer runs in 16 of their last 25. So while the numbers aren't great for Toronto starter Jaime Garcia, he's got a great shot here of keeping the Mets in check.
It's also worth noting that New York is just 7-22 in their last 29 home games vs a team with a winning record, 3-11 in their last 14 vs a left-handed starter, 1-10 in their last 11 interleague games and 1-6 in Syndergaard's last 7 starts following a Quality Start in his last outing. Take Toronto!

MLB | Dodgers vs Marlins
Play on: Dodgers -1½ +100 at 5Dimes
Jack’s Free Pick Tuesday: Los Angeles Dodgers -1.5 (+100)
The Los Angeles Dodgers have lost four straight and seven of their last eight games overall. It’s safe to say they are going to come into this game against the Miami Marlins highly motivated for a victory. They should be able to get on track against one of the worst teams in baseball in the Marlins, who are 14-26 this season.
The Dodgers have the clear advantage not he mound in this one. Alex Wood is 0-3 with a 3.60 ERA and 1.000 WHIP in eight starts this season, including 0-2 with a 3.22 ERA and 0.985 WHIP in four road starts. Wood is also 5-0 with a 1.12 ERA in his last six starts against the Marlins, giving up just 5 earned runs in 40 1/3 innings.
Wei-Yin Chen is off to a slow start this season. He recently returned from the disabled list and hasn’t been effective at all. Chen is 1-2 with a 10.22 ERA and 1.946 WHIP in three starts this season, averaging just 4.1 innings per start. He has already allowed 6 homers and 14 earned runs in 12 1/3 innings.
Miami is hitting just .227 and scoring 3.4 runs per game as a team this season. It is giving up 5.4 runs per game, getting outscored by 2.0 runs per game on average. So instead of backing the Dodgers on the money line, we’ll back them on the run line to win by two runs or more tonight. Bet the Dodgers on the Run Line Tuesday.
