Question

#1Toronto Blue Jays at Kansas City RoyalsBrandon Morrow vs Ervin SantanaOdds: KC -115 TOR -105, O/U: 8.5Morrow got ripped by the Tigers in his last outing. When you have 3 pitches and you&#x2019;re still working on your changeup/splitter combo, and you can&#x2019;t locate your 2ndpitch slider, hitters like to tee off on the ol&#x2019; number 1, it&#x2019;s going to be a long afternoon. Until he finds it, trust the status quo. Morrow could be happy to oblige as he is a part of a starting staff that has the worst ERA in the league at 7.55. Ervin Santana led the Majors with 39 homers allowed last year and is a thing of the past and is coming off a stellar outing. Joey Bats is the only one that sees him well and we think he can avoid serious damage from him being only 1 game removed from the Golden Sombrero. KC is 6-3 (&#x2B;325) on the year and we anticipate that winning trend to continue. Royals -115Tampa Bay Rays at Boston Red SoxAlex Cobb vs Clay BuchholzOdds: BOS -137 TB &#x2B;127, O/U: 8.5We were all over Cobb two days ago against Doubront until the rainout. He&#x2019;s allowed 3 runs or fewer in 14 of his last 15 starts. He doesn&#x2019;t rely on a power arm and barely touches 90 mph on his two seam, but his command is on keeping the ball down in the zone. He had a 2.81 in the spring and has carried it over to the big show, shutting down the Indians over 7 1/3 and only 4 hits in his last start. Buchholz owns a 2.76 lifetime vs the Rays and has completely shut down Longoria, Jennings, and Zobrist to name a few. He has a sparkling 2-0 record and a 0.64 ERA on the year. All 5 of his pitches he&#x2019;s throwing for strikes and will continue to rely on his fastball, cutter, curveballcombo here. Under 8.5QUOTE
