A Quick Analysis on the Texas Rangers at Toronto Blue Jays MLB Spread Report

When: Saturday, May 14, 2016, 8:05 PM Eastern time Where: Globe Life Park, Arlington, TX TV: RSN, FSSW Radio: Toronto / Texas Live Stream: MLB.tv MLB Odds: TBA Pitching Matchup: Marco Estrada (1-2, 2.39 ERA) (TOR) vs Colby Lewis (2-0, 3.20 ERA) (TEX)

Why Should You Bet on Toronto?

While Marco Estrada has a losing record for the Blue Jays this year, he was terrific in his last start, limiting the Dodgers to one run in seven innings in an unfortunate no-decision. Mitch Moreland and Rougned Odor are the only Rangers who have ever hit home runs against Estrada, and Adrian Beltre (.143), Prince Fielder (.000), Elvis Andrus (.125) are all key Ranger starters who have struggled against Estrada’s pitching. The Blue Jays also have the momentum of two walk-off wins and a rout in their three wins over the Rangers in Toronto last week.

Why Should You Put Your Money on the Rangers?

Colby Lewis is not a dominant pitcher, but he eats innings and he gets clutch wins. He does have a tendency to give up the long ball, but you don’t keep your ERA below 3.50 if you can’t manage games. In his last seven starts, he has gone at least six innings, and he has gone seven in the last three. On Monday, he held the White Sox to two runs over seven innings as the team went on to lose in 11 innings. The Blue Jays have not hit well as a team against Lewis, with only Justin Smoak, Michael Saunders and Jose Bautista hitting .300 or better against him with more than 10 career at-bats.

Expert Betting Pick and Final Score Prediction

I like Lewis to outduel Estrada in this game that is important for the Rangers as they try to catch Seattle in the West. I’m predicting a 4-2 Rangers win.
