MLB Premium Play 07/30: Toronto Blue Jays @ Oakland Athletics

MLB - 925 Toronto Blue Jays @ 926 Oakland Athletics

(Starting Pitchers: M. Buehrle vs D. Straily)

Mark Buehrle will start for the Blue Jays tonight and he has been very consistent lately. He had just one poor start at Baltimore, where he allowed eight earned runs, but besides that, he has been quite consistent, even though he faced top teams like Tampa Bay twice and Boston. His only issue has been the home runs, but that shouldn't be a problem on a game played in a pitcher-friendly park like Oakland's. Buehrle has a 3.42 FIP and 3.23 xFIP in July and I believe he will do a good job tonight. Dan Straily will start for the A's and he got finally pounded on his last starts against the Angels, with five earned runs allowed in 4.1 innings. Prior to that, he had three "good starts" in a row, where his advanced numbers were in fact quite poor. He is now regressing and so, I believe Toronto's offense should be able to pound him tonight and turn this game into a very competitive one. I'm taking Toronto tonight.

Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 925 Toronto Blue Jays RL +1 (w/ M. Buehrle) @ -109 / 1.92 on 5Dimes
