The Coach's MLB Heavy Hitter - (Bigtime Blowout Potential)
(MLB) Toronto vs. Texas, 08/26/2015 4:05 PM, Score: 12 - 4
Money Line: -172.00 Toronto (Away)
Result: Win
The Toronto Blue Jays are arguably the hottest team in baseball at the moment, having won 20 of their last 24 games. A ninth inning comeback saw them defeat the Texas Rangers 6-5 in the opener of a three-game series at Arlington, and the Jays are looking good in tonight's match-up as well.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Pitching - The Rangers hand the ball to Colby Lewis (14-5, 4.29) who's 6-1 home at Globe Life Park this season, but it's behind an unimpressive 4.96 ERA. That ERA might be even higher after this game as he's posted a 7.12 ERA in nine career starts against Toronto. The Blue Jays will counter with David Price (12-4, 2.40 ERA) who's 3-0 with a 1.78 ERA since coming over from the Tigers. He's 2-2 with a 7.36 ERA in five career starts at Texas but haven't pitched there since 2013, and he's a dominant 8-2 with a 1.96 ERA in 13 road starts this season.

2. Road Warriors - The Blue Jays have won each of their last seven games when visiting a team with a winning record and they're 7-1 in the last eight meetings at Arlington. The Rangers have won just 17 of their last 52 games as a home underdog in the +151 to +200 span.

3. X-Factor - Jose Bautista is 4-for-12 with two homers in previous at bats versus Lewis. He's 7-for-15 with two home-runs in his last three games.

Selection: This is a play on the Toronto Blue Jays (8*)
