The 2017 TBJ Over/Under

Future Superstar Dalton Pompey

14/1. That's the Vegas odds on our Toronto Blue Jays to win the 2017 World Series. That sounds lofty but it's actually 8th overall. Out of 30 teams? And only Boston and Cleveland are ahead in early Vegas prediction on who will win the AL Championship. That's not so shabby!

My guess for the over/under is 87.5 (2017 Over/Under official numbers have yet to be released).Over should be very close to a wild card spot. What do you think?

Stake your claim. Claim victory. Call it now. Over or under? Make a stance. How many games will your Toronto Blue Jays win in 2017?

Predict wildly!

Man I loved those Pro-line ads... 

It’s been nearly 25 years since the OLG began taking sports bets in Ontario. That’s 25 glorious years of cursing, cheering, bad breaks, getting screwed over last minute, victory dances and ruined tickets. Many of us have made Pro-line a major part of our Blue Jays daily ritual. Case of beer? Check. Ten bucks on the Jays to win, Yankees and Red Sox to win $86.40? Check. Personally I like to play Pro-line for at least 80-100 Jays games a year, and I’ve never heard anyone talk about it on the blogs, so I thought I’d write a post on  two of my favourite topics: baseball and gambling!
