Matusz has already faced Toronto this season allowing 5 earned runs on 7 hits in 5.2 innings, striking out and walking 4 a piece. Last season Matusz was subpar, to put it kindly, for the Orioles going 1-9 with a 10.69 ERA in 10 starts. This year he has not looked much better. Matusz is 0-3 sporting a 7.98 ERA, 2.25 WHIP, and .349 BAA.
Hutchison will be making just his 2nd major league start tonight. In his first start he got a W in Kansas City despite giving up 8 hits and 5 earned runs in 5.1 innings. He struck out 4 and walked 3.
In addition to the pitching match-up, the over in Blue Jays games so far in 2012 is 10-7-1 with most of the totals set pretty high. The over is 8-3 in Matusz last 11 starts and 4-1 in his last 5 home starts. The over is also 8-3-1 in the last 12 meetings between these teams, although it is 0-2 between the two in 2012.
There has been some movement on the under, moving the line from 9.5 to 9. I am thinking of making a decent sized bet on the over. What do you all think?
