The Blue Jays are seeing Cam Schlittler for the second time in a week, and although the AL Cy Young favorite pitched well against the Blue Jays, allowing just one run over 5⅓ innings on Saturday, Toronto still won, 4-1. The Yankees are 0-4 in Schlittler's last four starts. The Blue Jays won two of three games against the Yankees last weekend, and Toronto is 7-3 over its last 10 games, with two of those three losses coming by just one run. The model projects the Blue Jays to cover in 62% of simulations. Bet the Blue Jays at DraftKings here and claim $150 in bonus bets after your first $5 wager as a new user :
"My Chicago Bears have been getting just blasted by injuries in the preseason, and it seems like the Jets are in mostly the same boat, led by Breece Hall and first-round tight end Kenyon Sadiq," SportsLine expert Matt Severance said. "Starting QB Geno Smith will go a series or two for the Jets, but why would I back anything he does? New York has lost three straight preseason games. Pittsburgh's Aaron Rodgers won't play because he never does in the preseason. But one of the big stories of Week 1 was Steelers rookie QB Drew Allar, a third-rounder out of Penn State. I think calling him a steal is just a tad premature, but Allar might already be more talented than anything the Jets have. And Allar should play a lot. Will Howard is no slouch, either. Don't really get this number." Bet the Steelers at DraftKings here and claim $150 in bonus bets after your first $5 wager as a new user :
"These numbers are clear overreactions to the Broncos crushing the Falcons, 27-7, in Week 1, but maybe Denver's overall roster is that much better than Atlanta's," Severance said. "I would put Green Bay on the same overall tier in the NFL or at least close. Packers coach Matt LaFleur is expected to play his starters a bit. The Pack were one of two teams without a touchdown in Week 1 of the preseason. Perhaps that's motivation? Jordan Love didn't look good in his brief action. The big news is the return of injury of Broncos QB Bo Nix, but he will be kept in "Lanters" bubble wrap for his series or maybe two. If Nix scrambles on the second play, Sean Payton might pull him. Denver has the NFL's longest active preseason winning streak at eight in a row, but six points?"
