Blue Jays vs. Twins Best Bets, Sharp Picks & Predictions August 4: Runs Will be Scored Early

Alex here, the cofounder of OddsJam, and I have the sharpest bets for you 🙂 What’s better than awesome baseball betting picks for Thursday?

I’ll be discussing my best MLB betting picks for August 4, 2022 in this article. The game I’m zoning in on is the Toronto Blue Jays vs. Minnesota Twins matchup on Thursday. This game is scheduled to start at 7:40pm ET.

Alek Manoah is on the mound for the Toronto Blue Jays, and Sonny Gray is set to start for the Minnesota Twins. Sharp action has been coming in on the Twins, with 56% of all bets coming in on them so far. Pretty crazy, right?

The over/under (e.g. o/u) is currently set at 8 runs. The over eight runs is currently set at -120 odds, and the under 8 is set at +100. These odds are via DraftKings sportsbook. Betting lines can always changes, so make sure to check OddsJam to get the best odds in your location. Each location has different online bookmakers, too, so you may be able to get a better line than DraftKings. My top, number one tip for new bettors is to line shop and get the best odds.

My goal is to help sports bettors make money. That’s why I founded OddsJam. The Positive EV Sports Betting Software refreshes over 1 million odds & betting lines in real-time to find the sharpest bets. Give it a try!

I am holding off on betting the total for now. No over/under pick from me for the Toronto Blue Jays vs. Minnesota Twins matchup on Thursday, August 4. The spread is set at 1.5, which is common.

For the Blue Jays vs. Twins game on Thursday, the Blue Jays are favorites on the moneyline. They are -125 odds on DraftKings sportsbook. The Twins are offered at +105 on DraftKings.

I’d lean to bet on the Blue Jays moneyline in this MLB matchup. I think that Toronto will get the job done of August 4 and should be closer to -150 favorites.

Official Pick: Back the YRFI (e.g. “Yes Run First Inning”) at +108 odds on FanDuel sportsbook. This was a Positive EV bet. I think there will be at least 2 runs in the first inning. That’s my MLB prediction for this game between the Twins & the Blue Jays.

I also hit this player prop bet on FanDuel sportsbook. I’m on Sonny Gray under 4.5 strikeouts at -106 odds. I think that this is one of the best baseball player prop picks for 8/4, and I locked it in. Unfortunately, FanDuel gave me a maximum wager of $31.80 on this prop bet. I’d recommend hitting it for 1 unit.
