MLB Betting Picks – Red Sox Look To Continue To Build This Saturday In Grapefruit League Play
With less than a month to go before the Major League Baseball season gets underway, spring training continues down south where the warm weather and favorable conditions are always nice at this time of the year. MLB betting can be more difficult at this time of the year, but not if you find the right matchups. Here are four games to look forward to this weekend.
Florida Marlins @ Boston Red Sox
Saturday, 1:05 PM ET
The Red Sox may be the deepest team in baseball this year in regards to both offense and defense, and last year’s injuries were one of the biggest reasons for that. Boston managed to stay in the American League East race with the New York Yankees and Tampa Bay Rays all the way down to the final stretch even despite being without marquee names such as Dustin Pedroia, because of incredible play from their bench. Those role players earned valuable experience over that time, and will now be even more prepared to step in this season when called upon. That has held true this spring training, as the Red Sox have one of the best records in Grapefruit League play. Boston will get to play a Marlins’ team that is nowhere near as deep, and has struggled around the .500 mark in spring training. That should be the favorable matchup they need to get the easy victory.
MLB Betting Pick: Boston Red Sox
Toronto Blue Jays @ Detroit Tigers
Saturday, 1:05 PM ET
The Blue Jays are a young team with lots of key players still looking to prove themselves, and the pressure can be enormous at this time in the sportsbook promo year. It will be no different this Saturday in Lakeland when they take on a Tigers’ team that feels it is ready to contend for more than just an AL Central title. Detroit has been one of the better teams in baseball this spring training, and after sputtering through a mini-losing skid should be back on track by the time the Blue Jays come up to bat. Toronto has really struggles this spring training, and that will continue Saturday.
MLB Betting Pick: Detroit Tigers
New York Yankees @ Washington Nationals
Saturday, 1:05 PM ET
The Yankees have a ton of time to find their rhythm before it really matters, but after winning four in a row entering Thursday’s online sports betting play, it appears as though New York wants to win regardless of the scenario. It won’t be easy for them against a Washington team desperate to make a good impression on its fans. The Nationals are at the top of the standings in Grapefruit league play, and have looked better with every game.
MLB Betting Pick: Washington Nationals
Texas Rangers @ Chicago White Sox
Saturday, 3:05 PM ET
The White Sox have really struggled in Cactus League play this spring training, with just three wins to show through their first 10 games. Chicago will have it even tougher against the defending AL champions, as they strive to develop some sort of sports betting consistency before the games actually begin to count.
MLB Betting Pick: Texas Rangers
