With a limited number of games Thursday, we've decided to hone in early on Friday's slate of games.  Wednesday night was a bummer for us as we had the UNDER 7.5 heading into the 9th inning of the Twins-Mariners game only to have the Seattle closer blow it with two more runs allowed.

The Mariners have dominated over Toronto in their more recent meetings, going 8-2.  The Blue Jays did manage to win two of the last three meetings.

Yusei Kikuchi will be starting for Toronto.  He's 7-3 with a 4.13 ERA. He has not had a win in his last three starts.

The Blue Jays career statistics vs. Kikuchi are 21 for 71 (.296).  Matt Chapman is 5 for 16 (.313) with two home runs against Kikuchi.  George Springer is 7 for 16 against him.

Bryce Miller is 6-3 with a 3.66 ERA for the Mariners.   He is coming off a win against Detroit, pitching five scoreless innings against them.

The Chicago Cubs career statistics vs. Jack Flaherty are 7 for 51 (.137).  Be careful here as he's coming off four straight victories. He's 7-5 with a 4.29 ERA.

The Tampa Bay Rays just got swept by Texas and are only winning 30% of their games now.  Kyle Bradish (37.3%) has posted a 2.26 ERA and 0.96 WHIP over the ensuing dozen outings for Baltimore.

Yusei Kikuchi (7-3, 4.13 ERA) is slated to start for the Toronto Blue Jays.  He hasn't won in his last three starts. Kikuchi allowed two runs — one earned — over 4 2/3 innings Sunday versus the Diamondbacks. 

The opposing team, the Seattle Mariners, sport the fifth poorest wOBA and second most generous strikeout rate with a lefty on the hill.

Kikuchi has allowed 7 of 28 at bats versus Seattle's current lineup.

Bryce Miller, starting for Seattle, owns a 6-3 record with a 3.66 ERA.  He won his last start versus the Tigers.

Baseball News

Chris Paddack Player Prop Bets

Paddack recorded 10 strikeouts over seven shutout innings on Monday in a win over the White Sox. Prior to that start, Paddack was obliterated by the Orioles, allowing nine runs on 12 hits in 5 1/3 innings.

Zach Eflin Player Prop Bets

Zach Eflin has great value in fantasy leagues for the April 26 game against the lowly Chicago White Sox.  Betting on Eflin and the Tampa Bay Rays might make sense if not for the -210 price tag.

Trevor Williams Player Prop Bets

The Nats Trevor Williams held the Astros to one run with four strikeouts across six innings in a no-decision on Saturday.  And the betting public was eating him up at a near 80% clip.
