SportsLine expert Eric Cohen just dropped a bomb about the Blue Jays, calling Tuesday’s game against the Tigers a “must-win.” Honestly, after what went down on Monday, who can argue? This team just blew *two* separate leads against Detroit, and with a Wild Card spot within reach, that is absolutely inexcusable. You simply cannot do that when the season is on the line.

The Blue Jays Are Scrambling, Tigers Pitcher Drew Anderson Is Key

This isn’t just hyperbole from Cohen, either. He called it, straight up, a must-win. The Blue Jays have to take care of business at home against Detroit in these next two contests. Why? Because after this series, they’re heading out on a crucial six-game road trip, hitting up Texas and Baltimore. That’s a brutal stretch, so stacking wins now is non-negotiable. And check this stat: Tigers pitcher Drew Anderson is sitting at a 1-5 record with a 4.63 ERA on the road this season. If Toronto cannot capitalize on that, especially after Monday’s choke job, then what are we even doing? They are (-140) to defeat the Tigers on Tuesday. This is where you see if they have the mental fortitude for a real run.

College Football and NFL Action Heating Up This Weekend

Beyond the diamond drama, the gridiron is about to light up. In college football, Lane Kiffin is bringing his LSU team back to Ole Miss on Saturday for the first time, and you just know that’s gonna be a hostile environment. LSU is favored by 3 points, but the SportsLine Projection Model is backing the Under 58.5 total points. Those defenses are expected to shine. Then on Sunday night, we’ve got the Chiefs taking on the Colts. SportsLine expert Mike McClure has locked in an NFL pick for that one, and the parlay pick for Sunday Night Football is Under 48.5 total points. You know those prime-time matchups always bring the heat.

Ready for a Major Payout?

If you’re feeling brave, a parlay combining these three picks for Tuesday and the weekend could be huge. Betting on the Blue Jays (-140) to beat the Tigers, the LSU vs. Ole Miss game to hit Under 58.5 total points (-102) on Saturday, and the Colts vs. Chiefs game to hit Under 48.5 total points (-110) on Sunday would pay out a massive +548. Risk $100 and you could profit $548. That’s serious cash, and it’s a wild ride to follow all weekend. Don’t forget, the latest BetMGM bonus code CBSSPORTS can hook new users up with $1,500 in bonus bets if your first bet loses, or $150 if it wins, depending on your location. It’s a sweet deal to get in on the action for these massive games.
