Written by on April 17, 2015

One of the things that a manager has to do is look at his squad and figure out how his team is going to manufacture runs. The Toronto Blue Jays are all about power and getting the ball over the fence, while the Atlanta Braves, who don’t have a lot of pop in their line-up, have to try and use speed and skillful base running in order to get players home. These two contrasting styles will clash when the Jays and Braves meet up for a 3-game stand in Toronto, and here’s our MLB betting preview for the match.

Toronto vs Atlanta: MLB Betting Preview and Game Analysis

Date: Saturday, April 18, 2015 Time: 1:07PM Venue: Rogers Centre Opening Line: Toronto -136 The Blue Jays (5-5) seem to be having a hard time getting things going this season, as it seems to be a case of one step forward two steps back. One thing that is evident is that when they get their bats going, this is a team that is pretty much impossible to stop. The only team who have been able to stall them so far has been the Tampa Bay Rays, who took 3 of 4 in their recent series, holding Toronto to just 5 runs in the 3 losses. The Blue Jays will send veteran knuckleballer R.A. Dickey (0-1, 2.19 ERA) to the mound for the Saturday tilt against the Braves. The Jays have lost both games that Dickey started this season, but that has been due to a lack of run support as opposed to anything that the pitcher did. Dickey is not going to surprise anyone with his stuff, and is always capable of going deep into a game without allowing any real damage to be done. atlanta-braves-mlb-betting The Atlanta Braves (6-3) got off to something of a surprise start this season, winning their first 5 games before eventually dropping 3 of their next 4. It is going to be interesting to see how their brand of baseball will hold up over the course of the season, as this is not a team that is really equipped to blow anyone out of the water. They will be forced to play small ball all year, and will also need a ton of quality starts out of their pitching rotation if they hope to stay competitive. Second year starter Alex Wood (1-0, 3.86 ERA) will get the nod for the Braves on Saturday. Wood looked pretty good in his first start of the season, where he got the win, but not so good in his second start against the Miami Marlins. Which pitcher will show up in this game?

What Should You Bet On?

I really think that the Braves batters are going to struggle against Dickey, and that the Jays batters have a real shot to get at young Alex Wood. I see the Jays winning this one quite comfortably.
