Top Pick for Thursday 5-26-2011
White Sox/Blue Jays OVER 8
Odds makers have set the bar way too low tonight in Toronto. Look for the White Sox and Blue Jays to easily surpass this 8-run total here. Phil Humber has pitched well this season for Chicago, but he's clearly overrated right now. His success is more due to the lack of a scouting report on him then his 'stuff'. Brandon Morrow is a flame-thrower, but he's wild and has been knocked around this year. Morrow is 2-2 with a 5.06 ERA in all starts, 0-2 with a 7.37 ERA in three home starts, and 0-1 with a 8.38 ERA in two lifetime starts versus Chicago. Morrow is 10-1 OVER (+9.0 Units) vs. AL teams scoring 4.2 or less runs/game on the season since 1997. The OVER is 10-1-1 in Morrow's last 12 starts vs. a team with a losing record. The White Sox are 57-38 OVER (+16.7 Units) when the total is 8 to 8.5 over the last 2 seasons. The OVER is 5-1 in the last six meetings. Take the OVER 8 runs here.
Pick Grade: 1-5= 4
Good Luck!!
Go Thundering Herd!!!!
