Tall order when you consider what the Jays are doing versus righty lately. This thread was posted at Seattle -110 but the money has gone the other way and they are now +107, so if you like them the deal is even better, but check out Seattle versus lefties and Toronto versus righties first. I seldom like to lay the juice versus the better pitcher, but did it today.

Well said. This is a tough bet to make. But I've done well this year making these kinds of tough bets. That's how you keep value on your side. Save Bautista, the Jays line-up does not impress me one bit. Their .300 BA against Righties in their last 10 does not scare me at all. It's the under .200 BA that Seattle is bringing to the plate that has me concerned. I'm banking on Cecil to pour some gas on the M's in a hitters park tonight.
