At 10:05 pm, our complimentary selection is on the Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Angels ‘over’ the total. The Angels seem to have solved their scoring woes, at least for now as they’ve plated 36 runs in their last six games. Those games were on the road and this three-game series against the Jays is at home, but that’s OK because Los Angeles has lefty Joe Saunders going for it, and Saunders has gotten plenty of run support recently in his home starts. In fact, the over is 11-5 in Saunders’ last 16 outings in his home ballpark. Toronto’s lefthander Brett Cecil has the advantage of pitching for the team with the most home runs in the Majors this season, and Cecil has been a beneficiary of this, including two starts ago when his team beat the Rangers by a 16-10 margin and no less than five different Blue Jays batters connected on round-trippers. In fact, Cecil’s 5.6 runs per game of support is slightly better than the 5.2 run average that the Toronto hitters backed him with in 2009. And Cecil gets his best run support when he’s on the road, as indicated by his 5.19 road ERA to go with a 7-2 record in 11 starts. The only way a pitcher can win that percentage of games with that type of ERA is if the bats are showing up. Take the ‘over.’ As always, good luck…Al McMordie.
