Knee jerk thought last night was to back the Jays RL and call it good . . . but someone pointed out the Jays struggles vs lefties, and research revealed a horrid team average and even worse win pct in games started by southpaws, this was enough to keep me away. there was seemingly a strong trend of any play last night . . . in the end i settled on under 8.5 at a good price . . . early on, this wager looked to be a poor one, but eventually the fundamentals came home to roost . . . the mariners hgorrible offense was made worse by a strange lineup due to injuries, and the Jays did not keep going yard vs the lefties.
moving forward, i get the Jays bats facing their preferred type of starter, and the mariners offense is still piss poor . . . Jays RL seems like the play . . . in addition, the Mariners have one of the worst scouting departments, and it's been like that for a long time, go back and look at the 2001 campaign, and note who the mariners lost to . . . for years and years, this organization has struggled vs new pitchers . . . the organziation does not preach proper preparation in the minor leagues, and they players bring bad habits to the majors. they have no advance scouts, they have some intern writing reports based on what he sees on tv. it's very likely, most of the hitters (not ichiro) will go to the plate tonight and have little idea what kind pitcher Drabek is, and they will have even less of a plan.
