Most will take a look at the hot team here, which is the Toronto Blue Jays, as they have won 11 straight games. Streaks make people feel comfortable playing on a team, but the true odds start to work against them, as the odds makers realize they are going to get a ton of public attention. To set the record straight, an MLB team that is on a seven or more game winning streak, has a negative -6.2% ROI over the last 10 years as a play on team. Jeremy Hellickson has begun to resemble the pitcher he was a year ago, allowing three runs or less in three of his last four starts, and owns a winning record and career 3.04 ERA vs. the Jays. Toronto has always struggled when they head to Tampa where they own a woeful 12-39 mark in their last 51 played here. Play is on Tampa Bay.
