Toronto snapped a 5-game losing streak with their extra inning victory over New York on Friday afternoon. Ricky Romero gets the start for Toronto this afternoon. He’s 1-1 with a 0.86 ERA in his last three starts. The lefty has given up three runs and 20 hits in his last 21 innings pitched. Romero dueled Andy Pettitte earlier this season in Toronto. He went eight innings giving up two runs and five hits. Jorge Posada (2-12), Robinson Cano (1-11), Derek Jeter (1-10), Mark Teixeira (1-9), Curtis Granderson (1-6), Kevin Russo (0-2), and Ramiro Pena (0-1) all have had a tough time with Romero.
The Blue Jays still have a tough time hitting left-handed starters. As a team, they are hitting .202 against them while going Under the total in 11 of 20 games. Andy Pettitte also received a no-decision in that June 5th game against Toronto as he gave up two runs and five hits in 7.7 innings of work while striking out 10 batters. Pettitte is 6-2 with a 2.81 ERA in nine home starts this season. Lyle Overbay (3-27), Aaron Hill (4-27), Adam Lind (3-19), Alex Gonzalez (2-10), and Fred Lewis (0-4) have struggled against Pettitte. Toronto has scored just 38 runs over their last 13 games. The Yankees offense is also in bad current form as they’ve only scored 23 runs over their last seven games. They too have struggled against left-handed starters as they’ve gone Under in 17 of their 30 games against them. With both teams having trouble scoring runs and struggling against left-handed pitching, we’ll recommended a play on the Under between the Blue Jays and Yankees this afternoon.
