This game has 3-2 written all over it!
Both Darvish and Happ dominate the opposition and nothing should change tonight.
Figure this one out. Darvish in his last 3 starts against the Jays is 1-2 allowing just 4 runs for a solid ERA well under 2.00 and a WHIP hovering around 0,75. Not to mention his 11 K per game average. So why the 1-2 record? The Jays have the Rangers number. In Happs last 3 starts against the Rangers he too has allowed just 4 runs with a 17/4 K/BB ratio.
Minus Darvish's last start against the A's when he surrendered 7 runs in 5 innings (much like Hamel's) he has been very good since his return to the rotation. His 2 previous starts saw him toss 15 plus innings allowing just 2 runs with 23 K. Expect much the same today against a Jays team that swishes too many times. (Looking at 10 K today). But with K's come many pitches and early exits.
The Jays have played 11 unders in their last 13 games before yesterday's explosion. Mostly due to the BEST starting rotation in the AL. (Even though baseball experts are not willing to admit it). Jays starters have allowed 2 runs or less in 10 of 12 starts now. That's production.
So lets roll with the under in a game that could end 3-2 either way. Worst case scenario... Jays 3-2 or Rangers 5-2.
