T.M. Selection: Blue Jays +113.

1) Blue Jays lost a high-scoring battle yesterday but I just can not see the Rangers bats, which had been struggling, being able to do much of anything here.

2) Living in Canada, I follow the Blue Jays closely and Bowden Francis has been absolutely incredible on the mound since the All-Star break. Since then he has a 5-2 record and 1.83 ERA and opponents are hitting only .127 against him which is unreal.

3) The Rangers counter with Cody Bradford here and he is off a very rough outing. Bradford allowed 8 earned runs in less than 4 innings at Arizona in his most recent start.

4) This is excellent road dog value here against an over-rated Rangers team that fell apart down the stretch run of the season. Prior to yesterday's win, Texas lost 5 of 6 games and were outscored 37 to 12 in those 5 losses! The Jays had cooled off recently too yet they won 3 straight before yesterday's loss and I like them plenty here with Francis on the mound as they bounce back from yesterday's loss. Jays 3-0 L3 when off a non-extra innings loss.

T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Blue Jays.
