At 7:07 pm ET, my AL East GOY is on the Toronto Blue Jays, on the run-line. Sometimes, you take the extra +1.5 runs with a team on the run-line and you don't end up needing them. That was the case with last night's run-line play on the Cardinals. They won 5-4, in extra innings. Though we didn't need the +1.5 runs, it was a close game throughout and they easily could have come into play. Both the Blue Jays and the Orioles were also involved in 1-run games yesterday. The Blue Jays won 5-4 against Pittsburgh and the Orioles lost 4-3 to Tampa.

Now we get a chance, in what will likely be another close contest, to take +1.5 runs with the Blue Jays, a team which has started to play its best baseball. With victories in 5 of their last 6 games, the Blue Jays are heating up. The Blue Jays know this is their chance to gain important ground on Baltimore. They are 2-0 in Gausman's last 2 starts, winning 7-2 and 9-1. They are also 5-2 in Gausman's last 7 starts. Those 2 losses? Both came by a single run! He's allowed 1 run or less in 6 of his last 8 starts! The Orioles are 2-3 in Rodriguez's last 5 starts. Rodriguez faced Toronto 3x last season. Two losses and a 1-run win. Play on Toronto (+1.5)
