23-15-1 +21.48

Both plays at Bookmaker.

2* Tampa Bay +115

McGowan for the Jays has nasty stuff, but I think he gets hit here tonight against the Rays lineup. Sonnanstine is an average starting pitcher for the Rays who went 7 IP giving up 6 runs last month in Toronto. Think he has a solid outing at home tonight. I'm not a huge 'value' guy, I don't think a .500 club on the road should be getting as much chalk as Toronto is carrying today. Like the home dog here.

2* Detroit/Oakland UNDER 9.5 -115

Joe Blanton has solid him numbers at home posting a 2.62 ERA over the season. I think he can go 7 innings of 3 run ball, which I would take in a second. Jordan Tata is making his first major league start. Not much on the books as far as scouting Tata, but if there was an offense he could tame and maybe go a surprising 5 innings of 1 or 2 run ball, it would be against Oakland. 10 runs to lose this game is a lot in McAfee Coliseum, I just don't see it happening.

Good luck to all.

With all the numbers pointing to a high scoring, over the total type game, why is it only 9.5? It's because the books know they can't put this total at any higher than 9.5 because McAfee keeps balls in the park and cheap outs happen in the huge foul grounds that the Coliseum holds. We'll see come tonight.

Addict, I went through all the games that Oakland has played this season, and I found that they are 4-11 when going up against a pitcher that is 6'5'' or taller. Your guy on the hill is 6'6''

Hard fought win with Tampa, easy hit on the under. Tata dominated the A's like I thought.
