    Take the Blue Jays Today

    Play the Jays today, I got them at -105 this morning but the line is climbing. I dont see any reason to take the Rangers today. No Beltre, no Hamilton. Small sample size, but Toronto kills Harrison. In his career, Harrison is 0-1 vs. Toronto with a 9.82 era. In 14.2 innings pitched, he's given up 25 hits and 16 earned runs (four home runs) and has allowed blue jays to bat .391 off of him. Last season he had one start against the Jays and had a 10.24 era.

    In the last 3 seasons, Romero has a 0.92 era against the Rangers. in 29.1 innings he's given up 3 earned runs while Rangers are hitting .206 off of him. Not to mention, Romero is a stud at home. Joe Public will say "IM TAKING THE RANGERS, THEY SCORE A TON OF RUNS!"

    Hamilton/Beltre are out of the lineup again. Apart from 1 inning last night the Rangers offense was cold against no name pitchers, I expect the same today.

    Great decision by Lawrie to get the out at the plate. So many infielders just throw that ball to first. Saved a run.

    He made the right play. Last night if the Rangers 3B threw home rather than trying to get the double play the Jays don't score 3 runs in the 7th

    Yea, see what I mean. I can cap a game and give you stats up the ass. Consistent wins are just not happening for me right now.

    Screw Ron Washington. Should have pulled Harrison after the double. Instead leaves him in he can't throw strikes and its 7-1 now.

    Romero walks first 2 hitters of 5th inning... knowing the Rangers offense, they will all try to swing for the fences instead of try to make solid contact and will lead to 2 popups and a strikeout stranding both runners.

    Romero walks the bases loaded to start 5th.

    Calling it now... Elvis Andrus grounds into a double play and Michael Young grounds out, no damage done.

    Elvis Andrus 2 RBI double on a line drive over new center fielder Colby Rasmus who just came in this inning. Guess I was wrong about the no runs being scored this inning. If I was able to prop bet that I would have lost.
