My earlier $5000 wager on Houston ML +132 was voided due to rainout and I have to spend it on another one of my plays tonight. I have been on fire with my 5k wagers and see no reason to stop here as long as I am winning.
The odds are not ideal here but the Blue Jays are not losing this game no matter how much you try and convince me otherwise. I am a Blue Jays seasons ticket holder, I go to most home games and will be in attendance very shortly with my money in hand. It's also very rare that I bet on my teams because personal feelings often interfere with betting habits and the two just don't mix. This is an exception. Pitcher Brett Cecil is the real deal and I think he is going to shine even more in his third Major League start. So far the rookie has made his way up the system pretty fast and has already pitched better in his two career starts than he did his entire Minor League career. What a price we are getting on a team that is coming off a tough loss at home and that is going to field one of their best lineups of the year tonight. The fact that Travis Snider, Adam Lind and Lyle Overbay were out of the lineup last night and the team scored only 2 runs tells me that the play tonight is:
Toronto Blue Jays ML -118
Not a home play...believe me because I rarely ever bet on these guys but if you still don't trust me here, wait until you see how this team handle's the two losses to the Yankees.
Tonight we have a lefty versus lefty matchup and this is going to come down to who can pound away on who early.
Toronto is batting .307 versus lefties this season
Chicago White Sox are batting .255 versus lefties this season

- Toronto has yet to lose three games in a row this season
- Toronto is 12-3 in their last 15 games following a loss

John Danks is on the mound for the White Sox tonight and they have lost both his career starts against the Jays. So far this year Danks has been rocked on the road by a) Texas, where he allowed 10 hits and 5 ER's in a 5-1 loss and he has been rocked at home by the Seattle Mariners as well. He pitched well against Baltimore and Tampa Bay but those two teams really struggled when they faced Danks and the Blue Jays are hungry for some runs tonight.
Chicago has lost six straight games here in Toronto and I don't see why anyone would be on them tonight. I am going huge on the Jays in this one. Cito Gaston was badly outmanaged last night but he is not going to let that happen again tonight versus another lefty at home and the Jays have one of their best teams in years. The Jays of seasons past would lose this game tonight but they will back their young pitcher with some runs and this should be fun to watch.
Two words for Brett Cecil...CASH MONEY!
