Today, I like the New York Yankees (-125) vs. the Toronto Blue Jays.
Listed Pitchers are AJ Burnett and Brett Cecil. The Yankees in this matchup at this price in this spot is a must buy in my assessment. They are 12-5 in the last 17 meetings and face a Toronto team that while they are hitting alot of extra base hits and homeruns when they do make contact, they still aren't consistent at making contact and their team average is a sore spot for this squad. AJ Burnett has only given up 2 homeruns in his last 6 starts and is pitching well right now for the Yanks. He's going to get support from this vaunted Yanks' lineup who have simply feasted on Brett Cecil in the two times they have faced him. In only 8 innings total in the two starts, Cecil was touched up for 10 runs and 16 hits, walking 8 and allowing 3 homeruns. He also has a 6.19 ERA at home this year. Toronto's bullpen woes of late also come into play considering the strong possibility that Cecil gets knocked out early and that favors the Yanks as well.
Good Luck!

Blue Monday Play!
Zito came through yesterday, leaving our record at 18-16 (-059).
Today, we like the Toronto Blue Jays (+105)
The Toronto Blue Jays have won 11 of 14, thanks in large part to leading the majors in home runs and extra-base hits.
A critical homer of their own helped the Minnesota Twins avoid being swept over the weekend.
The Blue Jays go for their fifth straight win when they begin a two-game series against the visiting Twins on Monday night.
Toronto (23-16) continued to roll offensively over the weekend, sweeping three games from Texas by a combined score of 27-12. The Rangers scored 10 of those runs in Friday's series opener, managing 14 hits over the next two games.
Good Luck!

Saturday Bases
The Phillies came through and I now stand at 17-15 (-049) on the season.
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!

Friday MLB Pick
Tampa did not disappoint, now at 15-12 (+151) on the season.
Today, I'm on the Blue Jays (-102).
The Blue Jays try for a sixth straight victory when they continue their series with the Chisox tonight. Toronto is 10-3 away from home, and 4-0 on a 10-game trip that began with a sweep of Cleveland.
Shawn Marcum has had little to worry about when facing the White Sox, going 3-0 with a 2.16 ERA in four starts.
Chicago hopes ace Mark Buehrle (2-4, 5.30) can get back on track as he tries to avoid a fifth straight loss.Since throwing seven scoreless innings to beat Cleveland on opening day, Buehrle hasn't allowed less than four runs in any of his next five starts. He gave up five in 4 2/3 innings of a 12-3 loss at New York on Sunday.
All signs point to Toronto to continue their winning ways.
Good Luck!

Friday Night MLB Pick
Record 10-11 (-261)
Taking the Toronto Blue Jays (-127)
The Jays start Brandon Morrow. On the year his numbers seem lousy. 1-2 with a 6.14 ERA. So why do I like Jays ? Let's look deeper at Morrow. His ERA is high, but he does have 24 strikeouts in 22 innings, and a .234 BAA. He does walk alot of guys, but the A's are not a particularly patient team at the plate. In his last 2 starts, Morrow went 13 innings, allowing only 6 hits with 16 strikeouts. Last year against the A's he was awesome. In 11 innings pitched against the A's, he allowed only 2 hits with 13 strikeouts, and a BAA of only .054. For his entire career against the A's he is 2-0 with a 4.13 ERA, but with 38 strikeouts in 32.2 innings, and a BAA of .176. Morrow is a better pitcher than his season numbers show, and he will shine tonight.
Meanwhile the A's go with Trevor Cahill, who was called up from Triple A Sacramento to make the start. He has only pitched 8.2 innings in the minors this season (he had a lousy spring, with a 5.95 ERA which got him a ticket to the minors), allowing 7 hits and 5 walks. In 2009 he was 10-13 with a 4.63 ERA, a 1.442 WHIP and a .270 BAA. On the road last year (which is his entire career), he was 3-6 with a 5.10 ERA. For his career against the Jays he is 0-1 with a 6.75 ERA, a 2.156 WHIP and a .310 BAA.
The public will see Cahill's 0.00 ERA and Morrow's 6.14 ERA and they will play the A's. But as you can see, those numbers are deceptive. The A's, who have lost 3 in a row and who are 3-6 on the road this year, will get thumped by the Jays tonight.
