OH MY. This has to be the play of the week. The Jays should be -150 here, but The Greek has them at +111.
Ricky Romero is probably the most underrated pitcher this year. He doesnt get any credit, but he a 2.75 ERA this year. His record is only 7-7 because he doesnt get run support. This guy a WHIP of 1.18 this year, and is averaging 7 innings per start which is pretty good. Nearly 2 .5 K to walk ratio.
Wakefield is going for Boston. This dude is almost 50 years old. Dude was pitching in the majors when I was in Junior high. He has an ERA of almost 5, barely a 1 to 1 strikeout to walk ratio. He has given up almost 1 hit per inning pitched this year. Dude doesnt even start a lot of games, he has been in 19 games and has 74 innings so thats less than 4 innings per appearance. So I doubt he goes longer than 5 tonight.
The Red Sox used 4 from the bullpen last night and The Jays didnt use any out of the bullpen last night. So if this game gets into the bullpens, the Jays have an advantage in that their bullpen is rested.
I just love the Jays here at +111 and looking at some alternate runlines too. I think the Jays win this game pretty huge.
