Just because there is a big MLB slate, like there is on Wednesday, doesn’t always mean there are edges worth betting.
Part of being a long-term winning bettor is knowing when to sit out and not risk money just in the name of action.
However, that is not the case on Wednesday where, according to our MLB betting model, there are two very noteworthy betting edges, and they’re coming from games involving some of the sport’s most popular teams: Yankees vs. Tigers and Blue Jays vs. Red Sox.
Below we detail the smart way to bet both of these Wednesday MLB matchups.
