Sunday:
2* Toronto +110 over Tampa Bay(1pm) - Toronto should be the fave in this game. The lines makers are playing off the Tampa can't be swept b/c the game means to much angle here. Morrow is 2 different pitchers home and away. Morrow is 6-1 in Toronto and the Jays are 8-2 in his home starts. The Rays are in an funk right now. They put up 11 runs Sat with the help of wildness from Toronto pitchers. Since Pena went down, the Rays are hitting .214 as a team. they seem to be pressing a bit. Sonnanstine is spot starting and he may be asked to go pretty deep considering how short of an outing Shields had. Blue Jays get the sweep here.
2* Oakland -115 over Texas(4 pm)
1* Oakland -1.5 runs +180- Cahill is riding a streak of 26 straight starts where he has gone 5 inn and given up 6 hits or less. That is amazing consistency. There have only been 3 other pitchers since 1950 to do that. Vs Texas he has enjoyed his best # of any team. he is 2-0 with an 0.96 era this year and in his career he is 5-1 w/1.83 ERA. Oakland is 21-11 in game 3's of a series this year. Texas has really struggled offensively on this road trip. as a team they are hitting just .225 and are just 4-4 in the 1st 8 games. Lewis is 0-3 in his last 3 starts as the Rangers just don't support him when he is on the mound. He is getting less than 4 runs of support when he is out there.
1* Texas/Oakland under 7 - I will also toss a unit on here since the under is 9-3 in Lewis' road starts and 8-0-1 in Cahills home starts.
1* KC/Seattle under 7.5(4 pm) - Vargas has been an under machine all year as he just doesn't get the respect he deserves. Today he does as the under is set at 7.5 but I still like the under here. KC has put up 9 runs so far on this 5 game game road trip. Seattle has score 20 runs in their last 8 games. Davies has pitched very well vs Mariners in his career. The ump Randazzo has a tidy 7.77 RPG allowed in his starts. Let's hope the triple 7's means a winner for us tonight.
