Arizona Cardinals +4
The Titans were not a very good team against the pass last season. In fact, they were ranked 31st in the league so it is as bad as it gets. They now have a young defense with no real superstar and I like the Cardinals QB rotation, with Leinart going for a half and Anderson finishing the game. The Titans will play guys with no experience in the second half at QB. Look for Arizona to score points in the air and easily cover the spread. Take the Cardinals.
Toronto Blue Jays -119
Ivan Nova will make his first start for the Yankees tonight. Brandon Morrow has pitched well in his past few starts and is great at home. Toronto is coming off a bad road trip and will need to start their home series off on the right foot. Take the Blue Jays with the better pitching advantage.
