<p>On April 15, 1947, Jackie Robinson made history by breaking baseball's colour barrier with his MLB debut. Every year on that date, Major League Baseball honours his legacy and the values he stood for.</p><p>The league's unified tribute includes retiring his No. 42 across all teams in 1997, establishing April 15 as Jackie Robinson Day beginning in 2004, and, since 2009, having every player and on-field staff wear No. 42 in his honour during that day's games.</p><h2> </h2><h2>Quick Picks</h2><p><strong>Our pick:</strong> Dodgers to win</p><p><strong>Value bet:</strong> Mets in the handicap</p><p><strong>Long shot:</strong> Phillies and Cubs to be over run line</p><h2> </h2><h2>Betting Preview</h2><p>All 30 teams will be in action on Jackie Robinson Day, so there will be plenty of value to explore. Games to be played are:</p><ul><li>Orioles vs Diamondbacks (03:35 AEST)</li><li>Cardinals vs Guardians (04:15 AEST)</li><li>Twins vs Red Sox (04:40 AEST)</li><li>Tigers vs Royals (09:40 AEST)</li><li>Pirates vs Nationals (09:40 AEST)</li><li>Reds vs Giants (09:40 AEST)</li><li>Phillies vs Cubs (09:40 AEST)</li><li>Yankees vs Angels (10:05 AEST)</li><li>Braves vs Marlins (10:15 AEST)</li><li>White Sox vs Rays (10:40 AEST)</li><li>Brewers vs Blue Jays (10:40 AEST)</li><li>Astros vs Rockies (11:10 AEST)</li><li>Padres vs Mariners (12:40 AEST)</li><li>Athletics vs Rangers (12:40 AEST)</li><li>Dodgers vs Mets (13:10 AEST)</li></ul><h2> </h2><h2>Betting Markets to Watch</h2><p>When it comes to the upcoming Jackie Robinson Day, there are plenty of <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/events/mlb">baseball betting</a> opportunities available to consider. However, it's worth trying to find the games that can offer the most value.</p><p>We think the final game of the day between the <strong>Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Mets</strong> can offer value. There could be <strong>value in the handicap for the Mets</strong>, as they had a decent record in Los Angeles last year. Of the four games played in LA, the two teams each won two. Three of them were settled by one run.</p><p>Elsewhere, we think there could be value worth exploring in the game between the <strong>Yankees and Angels</strong>. <strong>Aaron Judge to hit a </strong><a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/huddle/misc/other-news/mlb-single-season-home-run-record"><strong>home run</strong> </a>could offer value, as he has 12 in his 44 career games against the Angels. He has started slowly this season, but this game could be perfect for him to find his rhythm.</p><p>Value may be found between the <strong>Phillies and Cubs</strong>, too. Runs could be on offer in this one, so the <strong>over market</strong> may be worth exploring. Each of them has potent offences, and most meetings between them offer fireworks in terms of scoring.</p><h2> </h2><h2>Our Prediction</h2><p>Check the latest <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/events/mlb">MLB odds</a> at Sportsbet.</p><p>If we're to make a prediction for Jackie Robinson Day, we think the <strong>Los Angeles Dodgers are likely to win</strong> their game against the New York Mets. However, we think there's going to be value worth exploring in the <strong>handicap market for the Mets</strong> due to how tight games often are between them.</p>
