- Toronto Blue Jays (Shane Bieber) at Seattle Mariners (George Kirby) — 8:08 p.m. ET (FS1)
Here are some MLB picks and props to consider for October 15.
MLB Odds & Storylines
As noted above, the Mariners head into tonight’s Game 3 at T-Mobile Park vs. the Blue Jays with a 2-0 lead in the ALCS. The Mariners are a -132 favorite on the Moneyline on DraftKings Sportsbook, with the run total set at 7. However, according to the DraftKings Network Betting Splits page, just 50% of bets and 37% of the handle are going to Seattle.
The over on the run total, meanwhile, is DOMINATING, with 79% of the handle and 77% of the bets. Blue Jays bats are 18-for-64 (.281) lifetime with 2 home runs vs. Mariners starter George Kirby and Anthony Santander in particular has had success vs. Kirby, going 6-for-15 (.400) with a pair of home runs. However, in his Top Same Game Parlay article, Garion Thorne is going in the other direction. His SGP is as follows:
- Under 7.5
- Julio Rodriguez 2+ Total Bases
- Mariners ML
He notes that while Rodriguez has struck out in 38.2% of his 34 plate appearances, he’s still been dangerous when he’s made contact, racking up six hits and a pair of long balls. He also posted a .900 OPS and a 152 wRC+ following the All-Star break. And while Mariner bats are 25-for-109 (.229) vs Blue Jays starter Shane Bieber lifetime, several of our DraftKings Network analysts have their sights set on Jorge Polanco.
In his Top Home Run Props article, Zach Thompson throws out Polanco 1+ Home Run (+550), noting that he is 8-for-31 (.258) in his seven games this playoffs with three home runs, including one in Game 2. ZT also notes that Polanco hit 15 of his 26 regular-season homers at home this year, with a .378 wOBA and he’ll also be on the strong side of his splits. Meanwhile, in his Best Prop Bets article, Bryan Armetta is targeting Polanco over 1.5 hits + runs + RBIs (+107). He highlights Polanco’s familiarity with Bieber from their shared time in the AL Central, when Polanco notched eight hits over 29 at-bats vs. the righty. And his slash line of .258/.303/.548 with the aforementioned 3 homers and 8 RBI doesn’t hurt either.
Like Garion, Bryan says in his game preview that he likes Mariners ML (-132). He says it’s difficult to have a ton of confidence in the Blue Jays right now, not aided by the fact that Bieber has been a lackluster postseason pitcher throughout his career. Give him the home team riding a wave of momentum.
