Ended up makin a little $$$ yesterday. Lets see what we can do today.
Have the following :
1. Toronto @ Baltimore
Toronto -125
Baltimore had their home game win streak broken today.
Halladay is an excellent pitcher on the road and he should be very focussed. Add in the winning run Toronto has and it gives a lot of confidence to the ball club. Cruz is back after missing a couple of games and that is also big because he is a good switch hitter.
Halladay has played once this season against Baltimore
throwing 8 effective innings and giving up only 1 earned run.
Last season he pitched 7 innings against Baltimore and had given up one earned run only. Has given up 9 hits in 15 innings pitched against Baltimore last 2 seasons.
Overall he is 3-2 starting against Baltimore with an ERA of 4.50 and a Whip of 1.179 going 0-1
Johnson on the other hand has given up 6 earned runs on 8 hits in 5.1 innings pitched. Last season he gave up 17 earned runs on 31 hits in 27 innings pitched. His team went 0-4 last season.
Overall he is 0-5 when starting against Toronto with an ERA of 6.92 and a Whip of 1.665. His teams record is 1-9 in these starts.
Both teams lost today. Toronto going on a 10 game road trip in 11 days. Look for them to start this road trip strong.
Add in the good hitting % for Toronto and this looks good.
The key factor here is the bull pen. I think Halladay will go at least 8 innings. This does not allow the Jays bullpen to enter and screw up the game.
I think at this price this is a good bet.
Cheers !!!
