MLB: Blue Jays at Indians
play Under 8 (Halladay/Lee) -115

Game Date: 4/11/2009
Note: Everything about this game today in Cleveland points to an Over at least as far as recent play and pitching goes, and certainly the woes of the Indians throwing staff. Both Throwers did not look very smart in their first outing this year with Halladay allowing 2 Homers and 5 runs in his first performance, and Lee getting pounded hard at Texas. Yesterday's action saw 20 runs by these two teams and once again, Cleveland saw some seriously bad throwing by their relievers. But these two guys are two of the best and they both have a very competitive nature. They will have the benefit of a wind that is blowing in from center and they both also have the benefit of doing well verses their opponent. Lee was also fantastic against the Blue Jays last season, throwing 17 scoreless innings over two starts. Halladay's lifetime mark verses Cleveland has been very good despite faltering last year when he faced the Tribe. We can discount the Indians poor start partly due running into a strong hitting and motivated Texas Squad and I was very happy about that with 2 wins on Texas this week. All of these things have given us a pretty good opportunity today with a much better betting line than we normally would have and that means it is time to jump. It is going to take 9 to beat us, and that may be a hard thing to accomplish, because the likelihood of at least of these hurlers getting back ontrack is very good. Let's forget all stats concerning past history though because that means much less than what is going on now, and what is going on now is two very good starting pictchers sitting in their Hotel Room right now and focusing on a good Saturday effort. Winning Baseball Totals is all about putting ourselves in good situations and this is one of those.
