Toronto Bluejays vs Texas Rangers (5:10pm PST)

The Toronto Blue Jays are rolling, winning five of their last six games. The Blue Jays have scored 36 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in their last five. The Blue Jays have won eight of their last nine when scoring more than three runs. Mark Buehrle gets the ball, and he’s 13-6 with a 3.45 ERA and 75 strikeouts this season. Buehrle is 14-5 with a 3.26 ERA and 82 strikeouts in his career against the Rangers.

The Texas Rangers look to remain hot after winning eight of their last 10 games. The Rangers have scored 11 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in seven of their last 10 games. The Rangers have won 12 straight when scoring more than three runs. Prince Fielder leads Texas with 148 hits and 71 RBI while Elvis Andrus and Adrian Beltre have combined for 86 RBI. The Texas Rangers have won nine of their last 10 home games. Derek Holland takes the hill, and he’s 1-1 with a 3.68 ERA and six strikeouts this season. Holland is 3-2 with a 5.02 ERA and 33 strikeouts in his career against the Blue Jays.

I'm going with the Over tonight, reason being that Bluejays are crushing the ball right now. It would be dangerous to take a total lower than 9.5 these days with them. It always wise to also watch the odds on the total through out the day if you plan on betting it. I was able to confirm the odds did move in our favor as the juice went from -110 on the over to -105. From this you can assume the public moved the odds.

Pick: Over 9 (-105)

Good luck!
