Blue Jays (Romero) -$1.10 at Angels (Santana)
I've said it before and I'll say it again that right now
the Toronto Blue Jays might be the most under-rated
team in the majors.
The Blue Jays don't get a lot of attention, or respect
in the betting marketplace, because they're overshadowed
being in the AL East. But if you discount Toronto's games
against the Yankees, Rays and Red Sox, they are 25-13
on the year. They've outscored the opposition by 59 runs
in these games.
Toronto starter Ricky Romero has been excellent with a 4-1
mark and 2.71 ERA. He's given up 47 hits in 63 innings and
has a strikeout-to-walk ratio of 64-24. He's surrendered
only two homers all season. He also has an impressive
3-to-1 ratio of ground ball to fly out ratios. In no game
has his fly outs exceeded his number of ground ball outs.
In six of Romero's nine starts, he has had as many or more
strikeouts than hits allowed. These numbers all show
that his excellent record and ERA are well earned and
not a fluke.
Romero is in tremendous form. He's yielded just one run
in his last 15 2/3 innings, during which he has piled up
17 strikeouts against four walks. He has gone 2-0 with
a 3.33 ERA in four starts in May. In two career starts
against the Angels, Romero has gone 1-1 with a 1.93 ERA.
Toronto has the second best road mark in the American League
at 16-9. The Blue Jays ranked No. 1 in homers in the majors
and are fourth in runs scored.
The Angels are just .500 at home. They are going with
Ervin Santana, who has a 4.95 lifetime ERA in seven starts
versus Toronto.
