| New York Yankees vs. Toronto Blue Jays Preview - August 23rd |
|
As the season draws to its conclusion, it will be interesting to see if the New York Yankees are able to hang on to their American League East division lead, or if they will falter and not even be able to hang on to this year's American League Wildcard. The Blue Jays have to be disappointed simply because they have played extremely well this season, but they just have not been able to pull off enough victories to overtake either the Yankees or the Red Sox. This series of games should be heavily bet upon, so you want to get your bets in early before the lines move too much. For Monday night's free bet, betsfreebets.com is selecting the Toronto Blue Jays to get the victory. It's not that the New York Yankees are a worse team than the Toronto Blue Jays. The fact of the matter is that the Blue Jays have been a very good team at home this season. The Yankees have been solid on the road, as well, but it will take quite a bit for the Yankees to overcome the Blue Jays' home field advantage. If New York is to win this game, they will need a big performance from this year's offensive leader, Robinson Cano. On the year, Cano is hitting .323, which leads the Yankees in hitting. He also has 21 HR and 73 RBI, which makes him one of the top hitters on the Yankees team. Alex Rodriguez is one player on the Yankees roster that could step up his play slightly. His .267 average is well below what Rodriguez normally hits, and he will need to play much better in the postseason if the Yankees are to repeat as World Champions. As it stands right now, the Blue Jays are the free wager favorite to win this game against New York. The Toronto Blue Jays are led offensively by Vernon Wells. Wells is having a truly resurgent year after not living up to expectations the past couple of seasons. While he doesn't share Jose Bautista's power numbers, Wells leads the team in batting average and has been a consistent presence in center field this year for the Blue Jays. Bautista's 36 HR leads the American League, even though he only is hitting .258 this year. To his credit, Bautista is hitting better now than he was at the beginning of the year, however he still could improve his overall ability in order to help the Blue Jays in future seasons. What he can offer now should be enough to overtake the Yankees in Toronto to win the free bet. This game is going to draw a lot of wagering at online betting shops, so don't be surprised to see quite a lot of public money going one way or the other. However, you should go with the free wager selection of betsfreebets.com, which is the Toronto Blue Jays. The Jays are just playing too good right now to go against them even if the Yankees are considered to be the "better" team. Stick with Toronto and watch your bankroll grow. |
