Pick: Toronto Blue Jays +120 (Black Widow)
Getting the Toronto Blue Jays as an underdog in this match-up is an absolute steal Saturday. That’s because Brett Cecil takes the mound, and he has been one of the most underrated starters in the league all year long. Cecil is 9-5 with a 3.62 ERA this year, including 1-0 with a 1.80 ERA in his last 3 starts. Angels starter Ervin Santana has posted a 4.50 ERA in 12 home starts this year, and a 9.00 ERA and 2.062 WHIP in his last 3 outings. Cecil did face the Angels earlier this season, pitching 7.2 shutout innings to get the win in a 6-0 victory at Los Angeles. Santana owns a 4.61 ERA in 8 career starts against Toronto. The Blue Jays are 6-0 in Cecil’s last 6 starts vs. American League West. The Blue Jays are 10-3 in Cecil’s last 13 road starts. The Angels are 1-5 in their last 6 games vs. a left-handed starter. Take the Blue Jays on the Money Line.

Pick: Chicago White Sox -148 (Jeff Alexander)
The Tigers are 7-23 in their last 30 games overall, and I’ll fade them with Porcello on the bump tonight. The Tigers are 1-6 in his last 7 starts and 3-13 in his last 16 road starts. He is also 0-4 lifetime with an ERA of 10.81 against Chicago. The White Sox are 22-4 in their last 26 home games. Jackson has won both starts against his former team this season, improving to 2-0 lifetime (3-1 on the money line) with an ERA of 2.70 against Detroit. Take the Sox.

System Play. We’ll Play Against - All underdogs with a money line of +175 to +250 (NY METS) - cold hitting team - batting .250 or worse over their last 20 games against opponent with a hot starting pitcher- WHIP

Pick: Arizona Diamondbacks -103 (Jim Feist)
A big difference offensively with these teams, Arizona ranking 5th in the NL in runs scored, the Nationals 14th. Washington is also the worst defensive team in the NL. Arizona starter Ian Kennedy has fine numbers, allowing fewer hits than innings pitched, a 117-54 K to walk ratio in 139 innings. Washington starter Jason Marquis has been awful, with an 0-4 record and an ERA over 15. He made his first start in months 5 days ago…..and gave up 5 runs in 4 innings. Play the Diamondbacks.
