2* Blue Jays -122
1* Blue Jays -1.5 +115
Really like this spot for the Jays, as the D-Rays are coming off a big win last night against the Yanks. The Jays had a few days to think about the loss to Detroit where they battled back only to lose by a run, and I feel they will be hungry and anxious to jump on the DRays early in this one. Chacin battled injuries last year with the Jays, but was still successul, despite a high ERA. Shields is a young and upcoming pitcher for Tampa, and has the potential to be good in the future, but I just dont see him improving drastically this year in hopes to build on his 6-8 record last year. I really think for Tampa to win they have to outscore you, they cant outpitch you. And Ill gladly take Chacin with run support from this high-powered potential Blue Jays offense. Toronto has Tampa's #, but I guess you can make the same claim for a lot of ball clubs in this league. Tampa is young and does have talent, and they will be a team to keep an eye out for as they become more experienced throughout the year.
