For as dominant as Price has been in a Blue Jays uniform (9-1, 2.30 ERA), his adversary, Texas right-hander Yovani Gallardo, has been unscored upon in 13 2/3 innings against the Blue Jays this year.
"He's dominated us in those two outings," Toronto manager John Gibbons said. "He's just on on those days we faced him. He's sticking his fastball pretty good, and really very few, if any, mistakes. So he's got to be confident coming in against us."
Why would the Rangers manager start Gallardo if he believed he was going to just get lit up? Especially to start a playoff series. You put the guy in the lineup who gives you the best chance to win that night/day. This line @+200 just does not make sense to me. I see opportunity here, plain and simple.

GALLARDO HAS PITCHED WELL AGAINST JAYS THIS YEAR AND PRICE HAS STRUGGLED AGAINST RANGERS IN PLAYOFFS.
IF GALLARDO CAN SOMEHOW GET 6 INNINGS RANGERS HAVE A LEGIT SHOT AT WINNING THIS GAME AND THE SERIES. GALLARDO NEEDS SOME RUN SUPPORT, WHICH IS SOMETHING HE DOESN'T ALWAYS GET. FACTOR IN PRICE'S RECORD AGAINST TEXAS IN PLAYOFFS, AND THE WAY RANGERS HAVE BEEN HITTING, I THINK HE GETS THAT SUPPORT

I SEE RANGERS WINNING GAME 1 6-3
Amen. Jays have really slowed down. Losing 4/5last regular season games. I really think there coming in cold today when you look at the hot teams fighting for a playoff birth they tend to keep the iron hot. I think Houston would have stomped the jays if they met in a wild card game. For that reason I took Texas

Did you know the Rangers have the best bullpen Era in the Majors since the All Star break? I really think this team matches up well with the Jays and any came coming down to the bullpens is in favor of the Rangers. Both teams can score plenty of runs but the pitching is what's going to decide this series.
