I'm definitely thinking Toronto for sure on this one....but the line is rather heavy at -250.

Halladay is going for his 8th win of the season....he's at home and only allowed 1 run in both of his last 2 appearances. Also in those outings he went the distance (8 and 9 innings).

I still think it's a good bet though, what you all think?

I think his record speaks truth; he is awesome. 7-1.

But, when you take another look at it.. that's 7-1. Law of averages here please. I am not saying he is going to lose, but law of averages tells me that a loss is due up soon.

Personally, I am taking Toronto -1.5 because Halladay is awesome. I wouldn't take -250 because of the risk factor and.. the law.

Take the Jays -1.5 for -110; a fairly safe bet at a low cost. I'm on that for 2 units.

I like your idea of the -1.5 .... I know Halladay is going to keep the score low, but I wonder which Toronto line up will show up tomorrow...the one that put up 2 runs yday or the team that put up an 8 spot the first game of the series.

Thanks for the heads up...I'll definitely take a look at that line.

The runline is a good play. Also consider Toronto team total over and Chicago team total under, possibly Jays for the first five innings as well. The bats will show up tomorrow.
