Football and basketball are normally the focus of sports bettors at this time of year, but baseball is drawing the attention of Canadian fans and bettors this Monday night.
The Toronto Blue Jays are one win away from reaching the World Series and, ahead of Game 7 of the ALCS against the Seattle Mariners, Canadian sports bettors are caught up in Blue Jays Mania.
Key Takeaways
- Heavy moneyline action on Blue Jays ahead of Game 7 of ALCS.
- Blue Jays -130 moneyline favorites over Mariners in Monday night contest.
- Ernie Clement the focus of BET99's most-bet player prop.
Football is king to sports bettors both north and south of the border, and generally two Monday Night Football matchups would normally attract the most attention. But the Jays' pursuit of a trip to the Fall Classic is on the hearts and betting thoughts of those in Canada.
"Game 7 has knocked MNF off its usual perch as tonight’s most bet on event, with 90% of moneyline action riding on the Blue Jays," BET99 sportsbook manager Cliff Adelman told Covers.
"While BET99 traders are backing Toronto with their hearts, we're bracing to take one on the chin if the Jays come through."
The Jays have home-field advantage for the series-clincher and will send former Cy Young award winner Shane Bieber to the mound to oppose the Mariners' George Kirby.
As a result, the Blue Jays are -130 moneyline favorites at BET99. Though that translates to just a 56% implied win probability, it's not deterring Canadian sports fans from supporting Toronto with their wallets.
They're also backing the Jays when it comes to player props. Toronto's coming off an 11-hit output in a 6-2 victory on Sunday night. Toronto has outscored Seattle 33-27 and outhit its opponent 55-42 through the first six games of the series.
"Ernie Clement is swinging a hot bat, and bettors have noticed. He's tonight’s most-backed player prop to record a hit," said Adelman.
Clement is hitting .447 in the postseason with an OPS of 1.121 and he carries -210 odds to get a hit in Game 7. He's recorded a hit in five straight games.
But he still doesn't possess Toronto's hottest bat. That belongs to slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
"No odds boost needed for Vlad Guerrero Jr. tonight. With a home run in all but one Jays win this postseason, his +310 to go yard is a popular Same Game Parlay piece," said Adelman.
PLAKATA!! 💥
