Gambling911.com has your Blue Jays vs. Rays betting line for April 15, 2015 where Toronto is coming in as the -4.5 home favorite and the total is listed at 8.5.
Best Bet – OVER 8.5
DFS Best Picks - Desmond Jennings
The last three games of this series featuring a total of 8.5 or higher have not only gone UNDER, there have been three or fewer runs scored in any of them.
Digging deeper though, the OVER is 7-1 in Blue Jays LH Mark Buehrle (1-0, 3.00) last eight home starts. What was the total in each of those games though?
The last game in which Buehrle pitched at home featured an OVER/UNDER of 8 with just a single run scored. The problem is that a bunch of the previous games in which he pitched at home all went way OVER the current total of 8.5. He’s also coming off a win, which many times tends to result in more scoring for older pitchers like Buehrle. Granted, the last two games of this series (the last two days) have stayed UNDER 5.
Tampa Bay’s bullpen had an ERA of 5.91 prior to Tuesday night’s shut out.
For daily fantasy players, Desmond Jennings is 9-for-22 against Buehrle. Jennings went 1-for-3 with a walk, two stolen bases, and a run scored in Monday's win versus the Blue Jays. He’s an excellent option for one’s roster.
The Rays RH Erasmo Ramirez kicks off the new season with a 31.50 ERA that came during Friday night’s disastrous relief session.
Tampa Bay CF Kevin Kiermaier’s has a team-leading nine hits, all of which have been for extra bases, including four doubles.
