I’m staying north of the border today and rolling with the Blue Jays. Buehrle is on the hill and the Jays fare well when he pitches. Jays are 6-2 in Buehrle’s last 8 starts at home and 4-1 in his last 5 against the Red Sox. He has a 2.14 ERA and a 0.90 WHIP over his last 3 and Porcello for the Sox has an ERA of 6.75 with a WHIP of 1.56 over his last 3. Sox are 1-6 in Porcello’s last 7 starts and 1-4 in his last 5 Wednesday games. The umpiring last night was terrible and did not favor the Jays. Today should be better for them. Cuzzi is behind home plate and the Jays are 4-0 in the last 4 when Cuzzi is officiating; the Sox are 3-14 in last 17 when he is calling the game. It’s also Canada Day so there should be a huge crowd factor.
Today’s pick:
Toronto Blue Jays
