id be very careful with toronto. im dropping a half unit on oakland.
halladay lifetime vs. oakland is very bad (4.90 in 75.1 IP). he's only been hit harder by 1 other team he's started 5 or more times against and it's another AL west team (Texas - 5.34 in 116.1 IP).
add in the fact that toronto's pathetic lineup has barely had a glimpse of sean gallagher and the kid can pitch.

ope: ps even tho stl tanked on us last nite ... :lol:
Arizona and Toronto. The Cubs and Angels are obviously MUCH better teams than these two, but if I'm laying big juice it is going to be on a pitcher I trust. Haren and Halladay are the two guys I would vote for to win Cy Young this year, so I trust those two to win more than anyone, even if their lineups suck.
how the F is Cliff Lee a Dog Tonight +120
Ok so I know the Rays are stellar at home but Lee +120 over Garza
who against the tribe has this The right-hander, however, hasn’t fared well versus the Indians, going 0-2 with a 5.85 ERA in four career starts. On July 12 at Cleveland, he gave up seven earned runs and 11 hits - both season highs - in five innings of an 8-4 loss
Nobody on this ???

I think that no matter how good Halladay is, if his offense can't score for him, it doesn't matter. I would not lay over 200 on the Jays. They have shown, they can be shut down very easily. I mean, Halladay could have a good game and give up only 1 or 2 runs, but if his offense gets shut down in the process, it doesn't matter how good he is. I think the A's are the most likely to break thru and win.
While the fading A’s must face Blue Jays’ ace Roy Halladay on Monday, they could still be in good shape to snap their current skid by trying to continue their recent dominance in Toronto. Oakland has swept its last two series at Rogers Centre, including its most recent from April 8-10.
All it takes is one stupid walk and bomb by Cust or Thomas. Both offenses suck, but Halladay is susceptible to mistakes just like any pitcher. That could be overlooked if the Jays had any sort of offense, but they don't. So would you lay 200 on a team that has trouble scoring runs? They only managed 4 runs yesterday off crappy pitching. OAK's pitching isn't crappy. If you're willing to lay over 200 on the Jays, GL to you. As for me, I don't think they're deserving of a 200 ml no matter who's pitching. But I'm not touching this game so I don't really care.
I realize what you are saying but Toronto is -200 for a reason; Halladay is the best pitcher in baseball and Gallagher is a rook whose surface numbers are better than he's actually pitched. Toronto only needs one or two runs to win this game because the worst offense in the AL is going up against the best pitcher in MLB. It's not "both offenses suck." It's Toronto's offense is bad, but Oakland's offense is TERRIBLE.
