TORONTO -150 over Boston:
I will look at the Blue Jays in this game as look want to gain a split in this series. Wade Miley has pitched better of late, but still he has struggled on the road with a 4.66 ERA. Wade is also 0-2 with a 10.57 ERA vs the Jays in his career. Speaking of the Jays they have hit .300 vs southpaws on the year overall, while at home they have hit .306 vs them. Matt Boyd did have a rough opening start vs the Rangers, but I feel he will have much better success vs this poor hitting Sox team. The Sox have averaged just 3 rpg in their last 10 games and 3.67 rpg on the road, while the Jays have averaged 5.65 rpg at home. I expect a nice win from the Jays in this one.
Play: Toronto Blue Jays -1.5 +136
Big time BUY sign on the Blue Jay bats. Much of June saw the Blue Jays going 18-6, averaging 6.4 RPG. The bats quieted in late June, scoring 3 or less runs in 6 of 8. After losing the 1st two of this 4-game set to Boston, while scoring only 4 runs, the Blue Jays? bats decided it was time to erupt. Witness the 11-2 win last night, far more in sync with their performance of late. Look for them to get a big piece of lefthander, Miley. Toronto is an MLB best 11-5 vs. port-siders with a .306 BA. Meanwhile, Miley is 0-5 with a 7.01 ERA vs. division foes this year and has a PURE PLAY AGAINST 1.58 road WHIP. Run line players take note, 34/44 Boston losses have come by 2 or more runs, while for Toronto 33/42 victories have come by 2 or more runs.
Play: Kansas City Royals -142
The Royals were just swept in 3 games at Houston and needless to say they will be all business when they take the field against the Twins tonight. Kansas City swept the Twins in the most recent series at Minnesota and are 15-6 in their last 21 home games against the Twins. Royals also own a strong 22-13 record at home, while Minnesota is just 16-22 on the road. Kansas City will start Chris Young, who has a 2.77 ERA over 7 career starts against the Twins. In his only start against them this season (6/9), he limited them to just 1 hit over 6 scoreless innings. Minnesota's Kyle Gibson has faced the Royals twice this season and the Twins have lost both starts. In those 2 starts he allowed 9 runs on 9 hits and 6 walks in just 11 innings of work. It's also worth noting that KC is 13-4 at home with a total of 7.5 or less.
Washington Nationals -1? -112
Instead of laying the big juice on the money line, I'll back the Washington Nationals and ace Max Scherzer on the run line against the Atlanta Braves today. Scherzer has to be the favorite to win the NL Cy Young right now with what he's done this season. The right-hander has gone 9-5 with a 1.79 ERA and 0.788 WHIP in 15 starts, 5-2 with a 1.40 ERA and 0.832 WHIP in eight road starts, and 3-0 with a 0.69 ERA and 0.269 WHIP in his last three outings. The Nationals have won seven of his last 10 starts by two runs or more. Scherzer is 22-2 (+18.3 Units) against the money line as a favorite of -175 to -250 over the last 2 seasons. His teams are winning by an average of 3.2 runs per game in this spot.
