Today I love the Over 9 in the Blue Jays vs Rangers game.
The Jays start lefty Ricky Romero. On the year he is 3-1 with a 3.42 ERA, and a .218 BAA. He does have good numbers against the Rangers in his one outing against them this year. In his last 2 starts, he has allowed 17 hits and 7 walks in 11.1 innings, for an ERA of 7.15 and a BAA of .347. He is 12th in walks in the AL. And over the past 7 days, the Rangers are batting an AL-best .301. I think the Rangers get to Romero today.
Meanwhile, the Rangers start Scott Feldman. On the year he is 1-3 with a 5.84 ERA and a .294 BAA. In his last 2 starts he has allowed 16 hits and 5 walks in 11 innings, for an ERA of 9.00 and a BAA of .327. On the road this year he is 0-2 with an ERA of 10.61 and a BAA of .378. He pitched well against the Jays in his one start against them this year, but last year his ERA against the Jays was 7.04 and his BAA was .300. From 2007-2009 he was 0-2 against the Jays with a 6.55 ERA and a .329 BAA. At the Rogers Centre his ERA was 11.57 and his BAA was .381. I know the Jays are not crushing the ball right now, but facing Scott Feldman will help take care of that.
Good Luck!
