(919) TORONTO BLUE JAYS at (920) SEATTLE MARINERS
Take: (920) SEATTLE MARINERS -125
I’m very much into metrics-based analysis, particularly as far as starting pitching is concerned. Therefore it’s very rare that I’ll go against the numbers I focus the most attention on. But that’s exactly what I’ll be doing tonight as the Blue Jays look to even their series with the Mariners in Seattle.
The key for me tonight is more situational than anything else, especially as it pertains to Toronto lefty JA Happ. He’s off what was probably the single strongest outing of his entire major league career. In spite of the fact Happ was on the wrong end of a very tough 2-1 loss to the Orioles, he was absolutely dominant in that game. And there’s the rub. If there’s one consistency we’ve seen from Happ over the years, it’s his inconsistency. This is not a guy who strings together lengthy runs of quality starts, and I feel Happ could be in a huge bounce situation off two strong starts in succession, with the spectacular effort vs. the Birds the most recent.
Chris Young will throw for the hosts, and Young has been a metrics disaster all season. But he has continued to defy those numbers to the point that if any analyst is still insisting on trying to beat this guy, it has simply become an exercise in futility. Young has been particularly tough at Safeco, a ballpark that fits his tendencies to a tee. Young is as extreme fly ball as it gets, and at this site, that’s more an asset than a liability.
The Blue Jays got some regular some rest on Monday night. Jose Reyes didn’t play, and manager John Gibbons wisely removed Jose Bautista and Dioner Navarro once the game got out of hand. The Jays will also get Adam Lind back from the DL tonight, and that’s a definite boost to their attack. But the Mariners are a hot team right now, and they’re actually not bad offensively against lefties, and I would call the batting battle pretty much of a wash. No doubt where the bullpen edge lies, and that’s with the Seattle side.
It’s important for any analyst to remain flexible and that’s the case for me tonight. While I’m going to continue to put emphasis on the metrics when breaking down each game, if an exception to the rule matchup shows, I’m not going to bypass it by being stubborn. That being the case, I’m looking to side with the Mariners tonight.

Toronto Blue Jays vs. Seattle Mariners
1* Bonus Play Total UNDER 7½ -105 Jays/Mariners
Seattle would destroy a tired Toronto team 11-1 last night (my ONE & ONLY 10* RUN-LINE GAME OF THE YEAR!); I think tonight’s contest sets up as a much lower-scoring affair though. The visiting Blue Jays will send J.A Happ (8-6, 4.09 ERA) to the hill who is coming off a tough luck loss; Happ limited the Orioles to two runs over eight innings while striking out a season high 12 batters. Note that Happ has been fantastic since the All Star break, sporting a 1.71 ERA in four starts. The home side counters with Chris Young (10-6, 3.27 ERA) who is coming off a winning outing, holding the Braves to three runs over five innings of work on Wednesday. While Young has been pretty solid all year, note that he has been especially effective at home with a 7-3 record, the big right-hander has held hitters to a .191 average while boasting an impressive 2.42 ERA and 1.00 WHIP at Safeco Field. With these two competent starters battling it out, I’m taking a long hard look at the UNDER in this one.

Oakland A's vs. Kansas City Royals
Bonus Play Kansas City Royals +1½-123 RL
The Royals have been doing a lot of winning lately. Eight straight games, in fact. They won for me Monday, beating Oakland 3-2 to take a half game lead in the American League Central over rapidly fading Detroit. Considering the win streak and the fact they're at home, I'd love to jump all over Kansas City again here on the money line given the price. But instead, I'll play them +1.5 on the run line.
The A's didn't have much offense last night. They finished the game with just three hits. They scored only one run in Sunday's loss versus Minnesota and have now totaled three or less in 8 of the past 11 games. It's starting to look as if some of the criticism levied towards GM Billy Beane for dealing away Yoenis Cespedes may have had some merit.
Of course the player obtained in exchange for Cespedes was Jon Lester and he continues to shine since coming over from the Red Sox. Oakland has won both of his starts, including one against Kansas City. But that game marked the Royals only loss to the A's this year in four games. Lester hasn't lost in 10 starts, but half of those games were decided by just one run and you have to think sooner or later that the left-hander is due to drop a decision.
Just to put the Royals' recent dominance in perspective, they haven't trailed in a span of 44 innings. You'd have to go all the way back to the first inning of Thursday's game vs. Arizona. That's almost five straight games. 1* Bonus Play.

New York Yankees vs. Baltimore Orioles
Tuesday MLB Bonus Play
Take #911 New York Yankees +127 over Baltimore Orioles (Tuesday, 7:05pm EST)
If you haven’t had a chance to check out Yankees’ starter Shane Greene yet, you need to tune in on Tuesday night. The young right-hander has been impressive in the first seven outings of his major league career with a 2.89 ERA and 1.21 WHIP. He shut down the Orioles a few weeks ago in Baltimore and will get the opportunity to do it again on Tuesday. Greene doesn’t throw all that hard but he has a nice mix of pitches and keeps his composure on the mound. He also wasn’t one of the highly-touted prospects in baseball, but Greene is quickly making a name for himself and his peripheral numbers say he can keep it up. Baltimore is playing great baseball right now, but this might be the right time to start fading them. Their stock isn’t going to get much higher than it is right now and they can’t keep playing at the levels that they currently are. Wei-Yin Chen gets the nod for the O’s in this matchup. The left-hander has had another solid season, but the Yankees prefer southpaws and should be able to get some good at bats against him. The Yankees are viewing this series as their chance to inch closer in the AL East race, so manager Joe Girardi will probably treat these games more like playoff games. That means we’ll see only the top guys on the lineup card and the best arms coming out of the bullpen. The line on this game seems a tad too high, so we’re on the Yankees behind up-and-comer Shane Greene.

Edwin Encarnacion, Toronto - Mid Aug
Encarnacion is on the 15-day disabled list with a Grade 2 strain in his right quad. He is on a rehab assignment and could rejoin the team for the series opener against the White Sox on Friday.
Under tends to follow this pitcher around
In Baltimore Orioles pitcher Wei-Yin Chen's last six outings, the Under is 5-1. Bettors banking on low totals will hope that trend continues when the 29-year-old gets the ball against the New York Yankees in Maryland Tuesday.
The Yanks counter with Shane Green. The O's are currently -134 faves with a total of eight.
Trend shows Minor mowing down NL West clubs
The Atlanta Braves have had a tough time manufacturing W's lately, but one particular trend is working in their favor for their matchup against the Los Angeles Dodgers Tuesday.
Mike Minor will be on the bump for Atlanta at home. In Minor's last 15 starts against NL West clubs, the Braves are 12-3. Dan Haren gets the nod for L.A.
The Braves are presently -121 faves with an O/U of eight.
Check out this ump trend before placing your bets
Joe West will be behind home plate for Tuesday's meeting between the Texas Rangers and the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field, which is bad news for Rangers backers.
In Texas' last seven games with West calling balls and strikes, the Rangers are a pitiful 0-7. Tampa is currently -132 home faves with the total set at nine.
Tigers happy to see this ump behind home plate
The Detroit Tigers have struggeld to the point where they are no longer in first place in the American League Central and are hoping that having umpire Alfonso Marquez behind home plate will change their fortunes.
The Tigers are 14-3 in their last 17 games when Marquez is calling balls and strikes and he will be doing just that when Detroit visits the Pittsburgh Pirates Tuesday. The Pirates are currently -120 home favorites.
Top Under umpire working the plate Tuesday
With an Over/Under record of 4-17 when he's been tasked with calling balls and strikes, you'd be hard pressed to find an umpire that has catered to Under bettors more efficiently than Kerwin Danley.
Danley is scheduled to work home plate at Turner Field as the Atlanta Braves host the Los Angeles Dodgers Tuesday evening. Oddsmakers have tabbed the matchup with a total of eight.
Only Hal Gibson III (9-17 O/U) and Brian O'Nora (5-17 O/U) have as many games resulting in Unders and only Tony Randazzo (1-11 O/U) has a higher winning percentage for Under bettors among umpires with at least 10 games behind the plate.
According to our umpire stats database, there is an average of 5.77 runs scored per game when Danley is working the plate. That's the lowest per game total of any umpire with at least 10 games calling pitches.
