MLB Best Bets Today: Single Game Picks & Props for Thursday, September 25

After a self-imposed one-week suspension for poor performance, I'm back to finish up the regular season with a bang. It is comical how bad I've been down the stretch, but I refuse to let my garbage picks ruin what is an INSANE playoff race. Will the Tigers collapse from #1 seed all the way to out of the playoffs? Will the Blue Jays win another game with Bo Bichette in the lineup? Which of the SIX teams still alive (Miami!) for the last NL Wildcard spot will prevail? MLB is adding a HUGE dose of drama into this unbelievable sports weekend (hello, Ryder Cup, College Football, and NFL) and I think we're all here for it! Let's finish the season on a positive note with a couple of winners today.

Single Game Picks & Props: Boston Red Sox @ Toronto Blue Jays

Pick #1: Red Sox ML (+120 @ ESPNBet)

Toronto is driving and occupying a large majority of the struggle bus right now. The Jays are 1-6 in their last seven games and in those six losses, they've scored 1, 0, 1, 1, 1, and 1 run. The offense has been abysmal since Bo Bichette went down and they are also in a weird mental spot of still being tied for the AL East lead and clinching a playoff spot despite their woes while knowing they need to play better to have momentum going into the playoffs. They are pressing, and it has shown via the many recent on-field outbursts . Boston is still in the AL East race and have yet to clinch a playoff spot, so they are hungry to keep winning. Toronto is going with a bullpen starter (Louis Varland) while Boston starter Brayan Bello has thrived on the road with three straight quality starts at Arizona, at Baltimore, and at Yankee Stadium. I like the value and the recent form of the Red Sox today.

Pick #2: Red Sox/Blue Jays UNDER 8 (-107 @ BetRivers)

The combination of Bello's road success and Toronto's offensive struggles makes this an easy choice. A bullpen game from Toronto makes me slightly nervous, but at eight, it feels like there's room for a couple of crooked numbers and still get the cover.

Pick #3: Brayan Bello OVER 3.5 Ks (+102 @ FanDuel)

In Bello's last three road starts, he recorded 2, 6, and 5 strikeouts and overall, six of his last nine starts has seen him record 4 or more strikeouts. Granted, Toronto doesn't strike out a lot as a team, but given their pressing on the offensive side, Bello should get to at least four strikeouts today.
