Tip:: Toronto Blue Jays @ 1.64 (Pinnacle)
Tip Result:: Win

I've enjoyed a good run lately by backing Toronto,so I thought I'd include them today as a published tip.

The 34-36 Toronto Blue Jays have won their last 8 straight and are 5-0 at home against Colorado. In fact, going back all the way to 2006 the home side has won the matchup between these inter-league teams. Starting pitcher Mark Buehrle has a 4.66 ERA and a 3-4 W/L record but has been excellent in his last two starts (1 earned run in 7 innings two starts ago and 0 earned runs in 7 innings in his last start). In fact, the entire Blue Jays pitching line up, including the bull pen, has been dominating of late. Buehrle has been on the winning side in both of his previous starts against Colorado. Another factor is that Buehrle is a lefty. Colorado are 27-20 against right-handed pitching this season but only 10-15 against lefties.

The 37-35 Colorado Rockies are 2-5 in their last 7 and are 0-2 so far in this series. Starting pitcher Juan Nicasio has a 4.87 ERA with a 4-2 W/L record but is winless in his last 5 starts.
