Rangers vs Blue Jays -226 O/U 9.5

This game has a pretty big favorite and a pretty high total.   Toronto has their ace Hyun Jin Ryu pitching who isn’t having the greatest year but still a decent 4.07 FIP and 1.17 WHIP.   Kolby Allard is pitching for the Rangers and he is looking pretty average himself at 4.16 FIP but a real nice 1.07 WHIP.  Both of these pitchers are lefties and although Toronto is number 3 in wRC+, they are only 9th against lefties.  Texas is just a bad hitting team in general and they are a below average 22nd in wRC+.  Both bullpen’s are slightly above average but what I am seeing in this game is some precipitation and some wind.  I know Toronto is a ballpark known for hitters but I think the swirling wind will give the advantage to the pitcher today.  Gonna take a crack at the under 9.5

Under 9.5 – 2 stars

Marlins vs Phillys -115 O/U 9.5

The weather should be nice this game and I think that we might see some runs.  The question is who will be getting these runs.  Well the first 5 or so innings, the Marlins have Zach Thompson pitching who has a wonderful 2.25 FIP over 24 innings against the Phillies Vince Velazquez who has a 5.48 FIP over 72 innings.   Now the Marlins aren’t the best hitting team only ranking 25th in FIP but the Phillies are only average this year at best and I think that the Marlins have a good shot for at least the 1st 5 innings to be winning this game.   Gonna grab the fish first 5.

Marlins 1st 5 -110 – 1.5 stars
