ST. LOUIS (Marquis) -155 over TORONTO (Lilly)
If there is one team we can trust to perform at a high level both at
home and on the road, it is the Cardinals. Currently, all but one
(Suppan) of the St. Louis hurlers are turning a profit away from
Busch Stadium. Jason Marquis has won 3 straight starts,
surrendering a total of 6 earned runs in that trio of games. On
the other hand, Ted Lilly has yet to find his groove this year,
sporting an ugly 7.26 ERA overall. In his last three starts,
he gave up 5 home runs and 7 walks while striking out 6, en
route to an 0-3 record and a 6.48 ERA. No AL team has scored
fewer runs over the last 10 games than the Blue Jays (3.1 rpg)
while the Cards are very strong versus southpaws on the road
(7-2, +$455).
