I'm from Toronto and I watch the JAYS all the time. Tonights best bet between these two is to take CINCY at a lovely +163.
Yes DOC is a good pithcer but the JAYS can't score. Don't think that because they produced over 22 hits last night and 14 runs you will see that again tonight. Last night was mainly off of Arroyo who sucks donkey ass.
Harang is a good pitcher. Don't let his record fool you and he loves to pitch against other top pitchers to try to outduel the other side.
Cincy plus money for me.

<!-- INLINE HEADSHOT (END) --> 1. Halladay's incomparable hook
Few pitchers rely on their curveball more than Blue Jays ace Roy Halladay, and nobody is having more success with the pitch this season. The table below lists the eight pitchers who have thrown the most curves this season, and the best numbers belong to Halladay:<!-- begin table --> <table class="tableheadFixWidth" border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1" width="450"> <tbody><tr class="stathead" style="background: rgb(0, 0, 0) none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;"> <td colspan="7">Top curveball pitchers</td> </tr> <tr class="colhead" valign="top"> <td>Pitcher</td> <td>BA against</td> <td>SLG against</td> <td>Well-hit avg. against</td> <td>In-play pct. of swings</td> <td>Miss pct. of swings</td> <td>K pct. of ABs</td> </tr> <tr class="oddrow" valign="top"> <td>Roy Halladay</td> <td>.139</td> <td>.185</td> <td>.056</td> <td>29.8</td> <td>43.5</td> <td>53.7</td> </tr> <tr class="evenrow" valign="top"> <td>A.J.

Among all pitchers who have thrown at least 200 curves this season, Halladay ranks in the top four in each category and leads the league in miss percentage and strikeout percentage. Halladay has always had a good curve, but rarely one this good. It's no surprise then that he is having his best season since 2003, when he took the AL Cy Young award. The Reds, Halladay's opponent Wednesday, have missed 31 percent of swings at curves this
Toronto now looks to take advantage of Harang (3-10, 4.33 ERA), who is just 1-5 with a 6.63 ERA in his last seven appearances.
The right-hander was tagged for five runs and 10 hits in five innings of a 7-4 home loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday.
Halladay, who is 17-8 with a 3.00 ERA in 32 lifetime interleague games, has gone 5-1 with a 2.86 ERA in his last eight appearances versus the NL since June 24, 2006
Roy Halladay is not said to be suffering any ill effects from a line drive to his temple in his past outing, and he's actually on one of his signature tears (4-1, 2.00 ERA in seven outings). Look for the "Doc" to be in against the troubled offense of Cincinnati (.656 OPS in June, second-worst in majors). …
I had Toronto.
Halladay pitched like shit tonight.
The Jays still fought back after a 5-0 hole created by Roy. Then squandered chance after chance to take the lead. They had bases loaded with nada down in the 7th and DID NOT SCORE!!! Leadoff man on base almost every inning, and nothing! Then reliever walks back to back Reds in the 10th and they get the game winner on a SAC.......which which Toronto couldnt do two times in the 7th!!! This one stung.
