MLB best bets: Blue Jays vs. Reds odds, prediction for Labor Day

Happy Labor Day! Yes, your favorite scamdicapper is working on the holiday.

The Blue Jays lead in the American League East has vanished.

Toronto has come back to the pack, and the Yankees and Red Sox are hotter than that Labor Day grill you have cooking in the backyard.

The Jays are at Cincy. Chris Bassitt has allowed four runs over his past 11 ²/₃ innings, fanning 16.

The Reds’ Hunter Greene has given up six runs in the same 11 ²/₃ innings, striking out 15.

It would be easier to separate Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, but this hound dog will take Bassitt and the Jays for $50 (+108, Fanatics Sportsbook).
