Wed 09/28 #1: UNDER 8.5 TOR/CHW -115 Humber
is very good against lefties with a 3.60 xFIP and 3.29 K/BB. Jays'
lineup has 6 lefties in there. Morrow is a quality pitcher who's
allowed 6 hits and 0 ER's in his last 2 starts, 15 innings. Neither one
of these 2 teams has a double digit hit game in their last 6 averaging a
combined total of 5.5 runs. Cool, rainy weather in Chicago today and I
expect another low-scoring contest.
#2: Texas Rangers -144 Tigers
own a tie-breaker so Rangers don't want to lose this game as they
currently have a 1-game lead for the #2 seed in the AL. I expect them
to have their regular lineup in this one as they'll be facing a rookie
who's allowed 8 ER's and 3 HR's in his first 9 innings of MLB work.
Richards pulled his groin the first time he tried to face Texas this
year...he won't be so lucky today.
More plays to come... Waiting for lineups, etc.
Good luck fellas.

No. Hit or miss. I didn't realize how bad this Toronto lineup really is after all their injuries. UNDER is a better play IMO
Yeah, that was an ugly lineup they trotted out yesterday. After watching the first couple of innings I was kicking myself for not taking the under instead. Alvarez did his part from the pitching end.

yeah he sure did. The interesting part is that Toronto got at least 1 guy on base in 8 out of 9 innings. They had 2 double-plays and just couldn't get that one hit. A bit unlucky.
