Best Sporting Events To Bet On (Sept. 24): Detroit Tigers On The Verge Of An Epic Collapse

Each weekday, Canada Sports Betting highlights the most intriguing professional sporting events for casual bettors to wager on with the best online sportsbooks in Canada.

Wednesday’s sports calendar is dominated by intriguing MLB matchups, but hockey bettors also have the opportunity to warm up with some preseason action ahead of the Oct. 7 season openers.

Let’s take a closer look at the best sporting events to bet on for Wednesday, Sept. 24.

Wednesday, Sept. 24

• MLB Red Sox vs. Blue Jays. Things are getting very interesting in the American League East with just a handful of regular season games remaining. Following Toronto’s 4-1 loss to the Red Sox on Tuesday, the Blue Jays hold just a one-game lead over the New York Yankees with five games left to play. However, Toronto does hold the tiebreaker over the Bronx Bombers, which means it’ll clinch the division if the two teams finish tied for first. This game is also incredibly important for the Red Sox, who are currently sitting in the second AL wild card position with the Detroit Tigers and Houston Astros nipping at their heels.

• MLB Tigers vs. Guardians. The Tigers are on the verge of perhaps the greatest MLB collapse ever after losing for the 10th time in their last 11 games Tuesday to fall out of the AL Central lead. The good news, though, is that there’s still time to turn things around on Wednesday against the Cleveland Guardians, the team that has jumped out in front by virtue of a tiebreaker in the division. This game will certainly have the feel of a postseason affair, so don’t miss out on the opportunity to watch and bet on the best MLB contest of the day.

• MLB Mets vs. Cubs. This is another game with huge playoff implications. The Cubs currently hold the top NL wild card spot and will be looking to secure home-field advantage in the opening round of the playoffs with a strong finish. While the Mets are fighting for their playoff lives, clinging to a one-game advantage over both the Cincinnati Reds and Arizona Diamondbacks for the final NL wild card spot. The NL playoff race is certainly heating up, so get in on the action for this marquee game.

• NHL preseason. The NHL regular season begins on Oct. 7, which means we’re just two weeks away from meaningful hockey in Canada. In the meantime, bettors can gear up by wagering on preseason action Wednesday, which will consist of five games, including the Seattle Kraken vs. the Edmonton Oilers and the Calgary Flames vs. the Vancouver Canucks. The preseason is the perfect time to get set up on a new sportsbook, so check out our best NHL betting sites to get ready for the regular season.

The Whitecaps are consensus -160 favourites against the Timbers, with a draw sitting at +350 odds.
