Cleveland(-103) at Toronto(-105)

The Blue Jays come into this contest riding a 3 game winning streak and will send left hander Brian Tallet to the mound. Tallet was tagged for 10 earned runs in his last start versus the Kansas City Royals but apart from that he has not really had to bad of a year. The Indians will send right hander Fausto Carmona to the mound who has had good success against the Jays in the past. But so far this year has really struggled to find his control and seems a bit off compared to seasons past where he has put up really good numbers. My best angle on this game is that the Jays have one of the best offenses in the league and the Indians have struggled at times to score runs this year, plus if the Jays fall behind in this game it will be a matter of time before the Indians will have to go to their bullpen where it has been a house of horrors for Cleveland this year. The Indians Pen has an ERA of 9.00 in their last 3 games, so if this is a close game down to the end its fair to say the Jays have the advantage. Overall Toronto is smoking hot and is firing on all cylinders at this point in the season so I will ride this train until it slows down.

Betting on: Toronto Moneyline(-105)(3.15 units)


Final Score:
Cleveland 9
Toronto 7 (lost) (final/12 innings)(-3.15 units)

Chicago(+172) at Kansas City(-180)


Zach Greinke may very well be the best pitcher in the League and he takes on a struggling White Sox team who could only manage to score 1 run last night in Texas against a really bad pitcher. Greinke is 5-0 with a 0.50 ERA and has already faced the Sox this year back on April 8th. The young hurler pitched 6 innings of shutout ball against the Sox and recorded 7 strikeouts and 3 walks, but the impressive part about it was he embarrassed the White Sox in front of their own fans in Chicago, and now he gets another shot at them, this time in Kansas City. In the last 7 days the Royals offense ranks 2nd in the league behind Philadelphia, so its safe to say the White Sox are doomed.

Betting on: Kansas City Runline(-1.5)(+105)(3.00 units)

Final Score:
Chicago 0
Kansas City 3 (win)(+3.15 units)
