T.M. Selection: Blue Jays RUN LINE (10* GAME OF THE WEEK).

I don't follow any one single handicapping methodology, but instead feel that being flexible with one's approach is the best way to secure profit over the longterm. Sometimes I completely dissect a contest and look at every tiny angle and stat I can get my hands on, but other times I use the "KISS" approach. Keep it simple stupid. This one here I'm giving the good old "eye test" and in my opinion, the massive talent discrepancy on the mound tonight absolutely justifies in laying the 1.5 runs for the near pick-em price. Jordan Lyles (5-5, 4.86 ERA) has been decent this year for Texas, but I think he'll struggle against this hard-hitting Jays line-up that's poised for a big second-half. Robbie Ray (7-4, 3.13) has a 1.05 WHIP and 130:24 K/BB over 100.2 innings for the Jays, and he just struck out 11 over seven shutouting inings in a win over the Rays in his last outing. This one has blowout written all over it; lay the 1.5 runs, the play is the Jays on the run-line!

T.M. Prediction: 8-2 Toronto.
