The second week of the MLB is here, and sharp bettors are looking to excel after a fairly chalky opening week.
Our Bet Signals have indicated that sharp bettors are targeting a number of evening contests, including two games where the public and sharps are in disagreement.
The three games that we’ll be looking at in this piece are:
- Red Sox vs. Tigers, 5:10 p.m. ET
- Blue Jays vs. Yankees, 7:05 p.m. ET
- Mariners vs. Twins, 7:40 p.m. ET
With just a lone NHL game on the sports slate tonight and no NBA games taking place, baseball is the sole major American sport to bet on this evening, so let’s get into an important trio of games.
