Toronto/Boston Under 8.5 (POD)
Toronto is on the road at Boston now, they lost 1-5 yesterday to Detroit, Halladay had an odd start last time, he had a 1.35 era against Cleveland at home, I actually went against him and picked up the +230 dog price with Byrd, he gave up 10 hits, but lost just 2-4, he looks to bounce-back today and he likely will do so, he had a 1.04 era against Boston last game as he faced Lester and lost 0-1, he looks to rebound from that to, he faces Byrd who the Red Sox have seem improve a great deal the last couple of games as he is 4-0 of late with eras of 1.60, 0, 1.29 and 2, and he won several games on the road including the Angels, Yankees and the Twins, which is tough to do and shutout Detroit at home, so of course, Boston was interested, if anything a lean on the under here as Byrd shows up in his first game for the fans at Fenway and Halladay looks to avenge his last loss and the last 0-1 loss to Lester, likely a 2-4 ballgame of sorts. Under is 6-2-1 in the last 9 meetings between these 2 teams meaning the pitching shows up, Toronto's hitting has been questionable all year, Halladay is 8-2-1 to the under on grass, Halladay on a bounce-back and revenge against Boston earlier this year and Byrd wants to make a good showing for the fans at Fenway and has been pitching well, thus, good spot for the under.
