AAA's BAIL-OUT PITCHERS DUEL! AWESOME 26-8 (76%) MLB RUN!
(MLB) Toronto vs. Houston,
Total: 8.50 | -120.00 Over
Result: Loss
This is an 8* BAIL-OUT PITCHERS DUEL on the UNDER between the Toronto Blue Jays and the Houston Astros.

The Astros saw the total go OVER the number in three straight games in taking two of three from the A's earlier in the week, while the Jays are looking for a sixth straight victory; when the smoke clears at the end of this one, I expect this total to sneak below the posted number. Toronto is rolling again, it took two of three at Yankee Stadium before then securing all three at Fenway Park, outscoring the defending champions 24-4 in the process. The visitors send Drew Hutchinson (7-9, 4.44 ERA) to the hill who is a very respectable 5-4 with a 2.95 ERA in 13 away from friendly confines this year; Note that Hutchinson comes in with some momentum as well after allowing two runs over 6 2/3's innings in a victory at New York on Saturday. The home side counters with Jarred Cosart (9-7, 4.41 ERA) who went 7-3 with a 2.70 ERA during a 12-start stretch, but who has struggled of late; a date vs. the Jays is just what the doctor ordered though to get untracked, Cosart gave up just one run over six frames in fantastic start in Toronto on July 28th, 2013. Note that Toronto has seen the total go UNDER the number in seven of 12 this year as a road favorite in the -125 to -150 range, while Houston has seen it dip below the number in 14 of 25 as a home underdog in the +125 to +150 range. I think the writing is on the wall, the situation, the numbers and the trends all point to the UNDER as the sharp wager in this contest.
