Today’s Games

Toronto (+200) @ Boston (-220)

In the only game Ricky Romero is matched up against Clay Buchholz. Romero got off to a decent start, but has struggled in the second half of his rookie season. He has above average stuff, but his control just isn’t there. His walks have even been worse lately, and that’s not good when facing a patient Red Sox lineup. He has been lit up in 4 starts against the Sox this year going 0-3 with an 8.83 ERA. Buchholz has been solid since getting called up in mid-July, and had been lights out as of late. He’s pitching like the Red Sox believed he could, going 3-0 with a 0.67 ERA in his last 4. He is a strikeout pitcher who has had good control lately and gets a decent amount of ground balls. He has all the makings of a future ace and he might make a name for himself this postseason. He has dominated the Blue Jays in 3 starts this year going 3-0 with a 1.35 ERA. I believe Buchholz will take this start seriously as he wants to stay on top of his game and carry this momentum into the playoffs.

Bets

$22 BOS -220
