Of Inerest :
Toronto & Cleveland Under 9 -106
Lilly & Lee
Playing the “Under” in a game that Cleveland is participating in is admittedly a tough choice. The Indians underrated bats, mediocre pitching and sub par bullpen has led them to a 62-51 (o/u) record on the season. This trend has at least been less pronounced at the Jake, where the Indians sit at 29-28 (o/u).
But even with the Cleveland “Over” tendency, this game in particular could not set up any better for an “Under”.
Toronto is the polar opposite of Cleveland in that they have been an “Under” bettors’ dream this year. The Jays check in at 50-62 (o/u) overall, 26-31 (o/u) when on the road, 14-19 (o/u) vs. left handed starters and 0-4-1 (o/u) their past five games overall.
Much of this has to do with their anemic line up that is producing just 4.3 runs per game for the season, an unsightly 3.8 runs per contest when away this season and 2.3 runs per contest their past seven games overall.
Note also that Toronto has produced a whopping 2 runs of offense in their first 18 innings of this three game set with Cleveland.
It should also be pointed out that the Jay’s starting pitcher Lilly is about as strong of “Under” guy as you will find.
Consider that Lilly is 9-14 (o/u) overall on the season and 4-9 (o/u) when pitching on the road this season. Consider also that Lilly is 2-8 (o/u) when priced as an underdog in 2004 and 4-13 (o/u) when facing teams with a winning record this season.
This “Under” tendency is no fluke either, as Lilly has been this way his entire career. In fact, he is 23-46 (o/u) the past three seasons, 11-25 (o/u) when on the road the past three seasons and 12-32 (o/u) in night games during this same span.
Adding fuel to the “Under” tonight is the fact Cleveland’s bats have been quite cool of late as well. The Tribe has produced 3 or less runs in 4 of their last 6 games and is 2-5 (o/u) their past seven games. Along these lines, they have scored just 5 total runs of offense in the first two tilts of this series with Toronto.
Both of these contests have not only gone “Under”, but they have done so by a combined 12 runs!!! We can only scratch our head and wonder about tonight’s lofty number and will call for this contest to again stay far below the total.
Kill Bill and I often agree on alot of games and more often than not ..... they cash baby and thats what were here for
More as time permits
