Padres vs. Blue Jays expert picks

Manny Machado Under 1.5 total bases  ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Machado entered Friday on an 11-game hitting streak, tied for the second-longest active streak in the majors. However, while Machado had four multi-hit games in that stretch, just two of his 15 hits went for extra bases, and he slugged just .478 despite batting .326 over that time frame. 

Machado has had great career success against Berrios, going 5-for-12 with a home run and a 1.128 OPS with just one strikeout, but Berrios is pitching so well at the moment that we feel he will get the better of Machado.

Best odds: -175 via Betway

Xander Bogaerts Under 0.5 hits ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Bogaerts is very familiar with Berrios from his days in the AL East, and is just 4-for-23 against the righty, with seven strikeouts and just one of the four hits going for extra bases. Not only does Bogaerts have a poor history against Berrios, but he is drastically underperforming this year, with a .200/.273/.263 slash line and a negative WAR entering Friday. Bogaerts had gone hitless in four of the six games prior to Friday, and we do not expect him to start raking now against a starting pitcher who enters with a 15.2 scoreless innings streak.

Mike started in the sports writing industry in July 2019, and gained a lot of followers in his first year after finishing with the No. 2 overall record in an annual NFL betting competition, which made picks against the spread, and from an Over/Under and moneyline perspective. Mike is an avid fan of the NFL, MLB, tennis, and all college sports. In his opinion, March Madness is the best sporting event there is, and he's especially euphoric starting with conference tournament time in college basketball. Mike's a big advocate of "fading the public" and making plays that are contrarian, constantly citing that "there are reasons why they have those big shiny buildings in Las Vegas." When making wagers, Mike always scours the best odds at all of the major sports betting sites, where he mostly sifts through DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, and bet365. He's tried several others and is of the firm belief that bettors should not just stick to one sportsbook, as there is always likely better value to be had with the same wager. In addition, while Mike received his undergraduate degree from Villanova University, he has no issue betting against the Wildcats when it comes to college basketball wagering, and suggests other bettors should always put their “head” before their “hearts.”
