<o><o>Toronto +1.08 over SAN DIEGO <o></o>
No doubt the Jays are scuffling and for some unexplainable reason they’re one of the few AL teams that have always had trouble vs the NL. However, Shaun Marcum is about as solid as they come and is without question one of the most undervalued and unrecognized pitchers in the game. Marcum was hit hard in his last two starts but they both came against the Rays. Prior to those two starts his ERA was 2.59 and only once in 11 starts did he allow more than three runs. Marcum seldom walks anyone, he’s always ahead in the count, his BAA is .241 and again, if you throw out two games against the Rays his BAA is .216. Meanwhile, Jon Garland skills are underwhelming at best. He’s going on just three days rest here after throwing less than 100 pitches in three straight starts. Garland throws so few pitches because every one of his pitches is hittable and they’re either hit right at someone or not. In a recent game against the Phillies, his pitching line looked like this: 7IP – 10 hits- 6ER. Seeing that line you would think he threw 115 pitches or so but not Garland. He threw 90 pitches, which tells us that the Phillies were swinging early and they weren’t missing and that’s the way he pitches to everyone. The Jays bring an all-or-nothing offense that leads the AL in HR, but is only 6th in AL scoring with a .224 BA on the road that is the league’s worst. However, this isn’t David Price, Matt Garza, John Lester or Ubaldo Jiminez and the Padres offense is worse. Marcum plus a tag here is about as sweet as it gets. Play: Toronto +1.08 (Risking 2 units). <o></o>
