MLB Premium Play 07/14: Toronto Blue Jays @ Baltimore Orioles

MLB - 921 Toronto Blue Jays @ 922 Baltimore Orioles

(Starting Pitchers: J. Johnson vs S. Feldman)

Toronto will start Josh Johnson today, who is coming from allowing two runs on three hits in seven innings against Cleveland last Tuesday. This was another good performance from Johnson, who is definitely pitching quite well right now with a 2.57 ERA, 2.20 FIP and 3.21 xFIP outing! Josh has been having a horrible schedule lately by facing Cleveland, Detroit, Boston and Baltimore on his last four outings! Even though he faced four top teams in a row, Johnson only had one poor start at Boston, as he was impressive on the other three games. In fact, Johnson has been great on the road this season with a 2.79 FIP and 3.45 xFIP, while amazing an amazing 0.48 HR/9 ratio! Today at Baltimore, I believe Johnson will have another good outing today, even though he will be facing another tough opponent in here.

Scott Feldman will start for the Orioles today and he is coming from allowing seven runs in 5.1 innings against the Rangers last Monday. He has been struggling on adjusting to the AL and Toronto will be a tough matchup for him. Feldman is allowing .299 BA and .879 OPS in 77 AB's against the current Blue Jays' roster, so I believe Feldman will get into trouble once again today. As Toronto will have a clear SP edge in here, I believe the Blue Jays have a lot of value as underdogs today and so, I'll be taking them in here.

Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 921 Toronto Blue Jays ML (w/ J. Johnson) @ +112 / 2.12 on Betonline
