blowing 5 straight leads brings our record to (4 - 7) on our underdog plays
Tonight we look to one pitcher that is more than capable of getting out of this bad run. Mark Buehrle
We are going with Toronto +109 over Boston tonight
Mark Buehrle is (10 - 7) this season with a 3.19 ERA going up against Brandon Workman who is (1 - 3) this season with a 4.50 ERA. Mark Buehrle is desperate for a good outing and I think that this game is set up for him to break out of his slump and in return we break out of ours. Workman was recalled from "AAA" after losing his last 3 big league starts and being sent down on July 8th. Toronto has been crushing it offensively the past 7 games with a team batting average of .322 and averaging 6.7 runs/game in that stretch.
lets look at some trends that have us leaning towards Toronto tonight
the Blue Jays are (7 - 0) is Buehrle last 7 starts against a team with a losing record
Blue Jays are (6 - 1) in their last games as an underdog
Boston is (0 - 2) when Brandon Workman starts as a favorite
