Toronto Blue Jays vs Arizona Diamondbacks
Picks & Best Bet — April 18, 2026

Analysis

This line at Pinnacle, offering Arizona at +106 on the moneyline, is a clear misprice given the market consensus. The Diamondbacks are significantly undervalued at 48.5% implied probability versus the consensus 60.4%. The Blue Jays are facing severe fatigue with a 4-in-5 road trip and significant cross-timezone travel, while Arizona's starter Max Scherzer has been struggling with a 9.58 ERA. For this to cash, Arizona simply needs to win the game outright.
