The red hot Toronto Blue Jays are home tonight against the "up and down" Boston Red Sox. Boston just couldn't get the clutch hits yesterday, against the tigers.
Toronto (27-24) has proven to be a legitimate contender in this tough division thanks to a potent line-up and improved pitching. Joey bats has been "so-so" so far in the season, but the rest of the bluejays squad is helping him out by clutch hitting and HR blasts.
Henderson Alvarez has held his own thus far, going 3-4 with a 3.56 ERA and 1.279 WHIP through 10 starts this season. He has been much better than Boston's Clay Buchholz, who has posted a 7.19 ERA and 1.829 WHIP in 10 starts. Alvarez sports a 0.75 ERA and 0.833 WHIP in two career starts against Boston, allowing just 1 earned run in 12 innings.
The Blue Jays are 7-1 in their last 8 home games. Toronto is 6-0 in their last 6 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. The Blue Jays are 4-1 in their last 5 home meetings with the Red Sox.
I like this to be a 5-2, 4-2 toronto win. Somehow, the bluejays always get hyped up for bostons appearence in town, and clutch hitting and blasts come regularly to them.
Blue Jays ML $300
BOL with everyones plays.
I also have a craving for the giants ML tonight, but the juice is kind of high. I don't want to do the runline, because we all know how the giants love to win by 1

The Rays are mired in a slump losing their last three games but they are still very much in the mix in the A.L. East. The Rays are 4-6 in their last 10 games, 17-10 at home this season, and they are tied for first place in the division. As a team the Rays are hitting .239 with Matt Joyce .288, Luke Scott hitting .241, and Sean Rodriguez hitting .230. As a team the Rays pitching staff has an ERA of 3.54 with the starters at 3.53 and the bullpen at 3.56. For game they go with their "Ace" David Price who has two losses in his last three decisions. For the season Price has allowed 62 hits and 20 earned runs while striking out 57 over 66.1 innings of work for a 2.71 ERA.
The Baltimore Orioles have hit a rough patch and have lost their last five games as they head in Tampa Bay. The Orioles are 2-8 in their last 10 games, 15-9 on the road this season, and they remain tied for first place in the A.L. East. As a team the Orioles are hitting .249 with Adam Jones hitting .314, Chris Davis hitting .309, and J.J. hardy at .268. As a team the Orioles pitching staff has an ERA of 3.67 with the starters at 4.45 and the bullpen at 2.32. Wei-Yin Chen starts this game for the O's who has a loss and an no decision in his last two starts. For the season Chen has allowed 53 hits and 20 earned runs while striking out 42 over 54.1 innings of work for a 3.31 ERA. I like this kid. When I saw him pitch against that potent rangers offense, I knew he was going to be solid. He's a cheeky guy with nasty stuff, and I look for him to confuse the hell out of the rays young lineup.
The Rays are 3-8 in their last 11 home games against a team with a winning record, 1-4 in their last five games overall, and 2-6 in Price’s last eight home starts against a team with a winning record. Baltimore is 10-1 in their last 11 games following an off day, 0-4 in their last four road games, and 6-2 in Chen’s last eight starts. Baltimore is 7-3in their last 10 games in Tampa Bay.
I'm not trying to fool anyone, but we all know the rays have the slight edge. Home field and their ace on the mound. But, I just don't trust this Rays offense. They are frustrating to watch, when they're in a slump.
How can anyone pass up the +149 on the rays with a good offense, and a decent pitcher?

The marlins should have a lot of momentum, sweeping one of the hottest teams in baseball right now, the gnats. The Marlins have won five of six to pull within 1/2 game of Washington in the National League East and are a season high seven games above .500. Clutch hitting and solid pitching has been the key to their success so far. Stanton slamming his 12th homer of May? Streaky, or what? This guy will be like Ryan Howard, in years to come.. Miami sends out Buehrle out in search of his fourth straight win. Buehrle will likely get it if he can duplicate his last effort when he gave up a pair of runs on eight hits over 7.1 innings of an 8-2 victory over San Francisco. But then again, he faced the anemic giants offense.
Philadelphia outscored the Mets 10-6 on Wednesday to move to a pair of games above .500 which is not where this envisioned themselves over 25% of the way in to the season. That has the Phillies sitting dead last in the National League East and in trouble with starters Roy Holladay and Vance Worley shelved as well as regulars Chase Utley and Ryan Howard still on the disabled list.
Kyle Kendrick gets the start for Philadelphia coming off the second complete game of his career in complete game, seven hit shut out in a 4-0 victory over St Louis. Kendrick has now given up three runs over his past 22 innings covering three starts.
I'm not a Kendrick backer although he has done well recently. I'm backing the Phillies with the hope the get to Buehrle but I can't honestly say back the Phils the way they are playing. I'm risking it though.

Okay, Last play guys, as my eye's are getting tired of looking at the computer, and trying t ofind out info. This should be enough for Friday's card.
It look's like the Angels have woken up, after and a poor first quarter of the season they are playing really good baseball right now. The Angels are 8-2 in their last 10 games, 13-11 at home this season, and they are 5.5 games back in the standings. As a team the Angels are hitting .253 with Mark Trumbo hitting .348, Howard Kendrick hitting .257, and Albert Pujols hitting .243. As a team the Angels pitching staff has an ERA of 3.45 with the starters at 3.41 and the bullpen at 3.57.
For game one, Jerome Williams is on the mound, and he has won five of his last six decisions. For the season Williams has allowed 59 hits and 25 earned runs while striking out 38 over 59 innings of work for a 3.81 ERA.
The Texas Rangers have the second best record in baseball and the best record in the American League. The Rangers are 6-4 in their last 10 games, 16-9 on the road this season, and they have led the A.L. West since day one this season. As a team the Rangers are hitting .288 with Josh Hamilton hitting .368, Adrian Beltre at .319, and Elvis Andrus at .308. As a team the Rangers pitching staff has an ERA of 3.63 with the starters at 3.99 and the bullpen at 2.88. For game one at Anaheim Texas starts Colby Lewis who has lost three of his last five starts. For the season Lewis has allowed 67 hits and 26 earned runs while striking out 59 over 65.1 innings of work for a 3.58 ERA.
Los Angeles is 8-1 in their last nine games overall, 5-2 in their last seven home games against a right handed starter, and 7-0 in Williams’ last seven home starts. Texas is 4-1 in their last five games against a right handed starter, 38-13 in game one of a series, and 7-3 in Lewis’ last 10 starts as a road favorite. The Rangers have won six of their last seven games in Los Angeles.
The over seems like the sensible bet here. But I don't like over/unders, so I'm sticking to my instinct here.
The angels getting a lot of respect and texas has played like crap against the mariners. A day off will do them real good.
