Blue Jays -116 THOUGHTS NOW!

TORONTO (13-11) AT BOSTON (15-11) BLUE JAYS -116

Read this: Josh Beckett's biggest problem remains his bursts of anger when things go wrong on the mound. He still struggles to put bad pitches and bad calls behind him and tends to brood, sometimes for days, after disappointing outings.

Last outing: 3.2 IP 9 R 5 BB

Interesting???? Here are some stats
Runs per game Tor 6.0- Bos 4.8

BLUE JAYS -116
BA
TOR .302
BOS .254

HR
Tor 38
Bos 27

RBI
Tor 140
Bos 119
BLUE JAYS -116

As I have been saying for much of the season "The Blue Jays
are for real" Watch out and enjoy the $ that is going to be made
on this team.
BLUE JAYS -116
Also Roy Halladay is no slouch ERA is 2.83 and he already pitched
awesome against them this year Giving up only 1 run.
BLUE JAYS -116
Blue Jays have the mentality right now to try to prove themselves
to the division. so games like this vs a Division powerhouse will
make them refrain from complacency
BLUE JAYS -116
So Beckett is worth fading right now.
Line Movement so far has been a plus!
Blue Jays batters are hitting way better than Red Sox batters

BLUE JAYS -116

ANY THOUGHTS???

:money: :drink: :money:
:money8: :money:

I got Jays at +112...where are you getting this line, you're killing yourself!

Currently +108 at Pinny

You are right. I was on SBR Lines and it didn't update I guess.
Good News now getting +108 even better thanks!!!

According to Live Lines the line opened at Cris with Toronto
being the favorite at -125. I saw it later at Pinnacle at about
-110, i think. Then Piny took it off the board for what seemed
like a few hours and when it returned it was +110. Weird, eh?

i believe all this was caused because beckett wasn't the initial pitcher for BOS.

Yea, Clement was the original Boston listed pitcher for the -125/-116 line.

Take the Jays at the dog price. They give Boston fits and are sporting their best pitcher.

Love Toronto here! Lets take em out! GL on the brew crew, im on the public side! lol

Game: Toronto Blue Jays @ Boston Red Sox on May 3, 2006 7:05PM
Prediction: Toronto Blue Jays
Reason: We were heading to the window with the Yankees as an underdog against Josh Beckett last night, but it did not really rain on our parade – we might have an even better setting here.

We played a 4* on Roy Halladay as a home favorite over these Red Sox 12 days ago and got rewarded with a ridiculously easy 8-1 rout. Now the edges are even bigger from a price perspective based on tonight’s real circumstances. The betting markets are not even coming close to appreciating the offensive gap between these teams. Prior to last night the Red Sox had played two more games than the Blue Jays, yet trailed the head-to-head comparison by 20 runs, 25 hits, 10 home runs and four stolen bases, while striking out 51 more times. There is also no “big bully” advantage to the Red Sox from a psychological standpoint – the Blue Jays have gone 15-9 in this series the past two seasons, out-scoring Boston by 25 runs, and they have taken nine of 15 here in Fenway. So with that out of the way, we can get to the battle of the pitcher’s, and the gap is also much wider than anyone seems to appreciate.

At 3-1/2.84 Roy Halladay is not only the front-runner for the Cy Young in the A.L., but also the cornerstone for the Toronto playoff run. We have seen that in his last two starts, when they dominated these Sox and the Yankees by a 15-3 count. That really matters in terms of setting a tone for the season. And what matters to us is Halladay’s form. While the base numbers are obviously good, we like the fact that he is putting the ball exactly where he wants it – over the plate and low in the strike zone. He has only walked four batters in 25 innings, despite the fact that the Red Sox and Yankees lead the Major’s in receiving walks, and there have been 47 ground ball outs vs. only 14 fly outs.

Meanwhile here was our take on Beckett prior to last night’s rain – “Beckett got off to a sensational start in his A.L. debut this season, but it turned south in the worst psychological way for a pitcher. Two starts back he entered the 8th inning at Toronto with a 3-0/1.61 baseline, and a big lead on the field. In the last four innings, that ERA has jumped all the way to 4.50, and the Red Sox have lost twice. That big lead vs. the Blue Jays did not last. And there were no flukes falling in for hits anywhere – Beckett got tagged for five home runs in that span. Now he takes on all of that Yankee power with the Green Monster in left, and his bruised psyche is ripe to be exploited.”

Change Yankee power to Blue Jay power and the fit might even be better, especially as the Toronto lineup gets a second look. Wrong price here for the far better team and far better pitcher.



A little rain is not a bad thing - it helps nature to grow. And in this case it helped our edges to grow as well.

I don't like Toronto at this price. Halladay still isn't 100% imo after a short stint on the DL with a forearm strain.

Its funny how the line opened basically a pk when Clement was scheduled and has barely moved even though Beckett is now pitching. The difference between the two should be worth at least 20-25 cents and I agree with the opening Clement line.

I've also noticed the Jays bats are beginning to cool after their red hot start. Third place hitter Vernon Wells suddenly has lost all sense of the strikezone.

apparantly vernon going 5-15 in his previous 15 at-bats is a slump, according to some sports radio hosts...some people would kill to be in a .333 slump... the bats will be fine..

Don't know about these radio hosts but personally I didn't say he was in a slump. I've watched all his AB's the past couple games and he's swinging at pitches a foot outside, he cannot lay off. This is not a good sign.

Pass for me. Beckett is one of those guys who needs to be motivated, when he's motivated then look out. Not many have better stuff than he does, I don't like to be on the other side when he brings his A game. Problem is I don't feel like guessing as to what's in his head. Good luck with the game guys, no opinion here.
