Reds at Blue Jays Betting Odds & Picks
Written June 24, 2009 by Jordan Haimowitz
As the Reds round the end of June, they seem to be on the verge of their plummet. They have lost seven of their last ten games and can’t seem to get it together of late. They have lost their three interleague games. When broken down, you’ll see Cinci has some real solid bats. Brandon Phillips is one of the league’s top second baseman with 11 homers, 48 RBIs and a .279 batting average. Jay Bruce is a solid young slugger with 17 homers and 36 RBIs. Joey Votto, who is the teams best player has just been recalled from the minors due to an injury that has sidelined him for a long time now. On the mound tonight will be veteran Bronson Arroyo. He 8-5 on the season but fields a 5.16 ERA. Bronson has been very lucky to receive great run support in his starts. His ERA has been slightly better on the road then at home but nothing to write off about. However, in his four June starts he is 1-2 with a 5.25 ERA. His velocity and confidence have seem to be shook of late. The bats will show up today for Cinci as they have averaged 4.5 runs per game over the past four interleague games. The question will be will Arroyo be able to silence the Jays bats at home? I highly doubt it. Wednesday’s MLB odds show the Blue Jays -140 against the Reds with the Over/Under set at 8.5 runs.
For about a month now every critic I know have been trying to write of the Jays. I continue to advise them not to do so. Toronto is 39-33 on the season. They have won five of their last seven games averaging a little over six runs in each. Adam Lind is one of those guys this year that blasted onto scene from out of no where. He has 14 homers, 50 RBIs while hitting .307 and has given no signs he is slowing down. Aaron Hill is one of the more underrated second baseman’s in all of baseball. He leads the team with 15 home runs while also adding 48 RBIs and hitting .304 from the dish. Alex Rios and Vernon Wells have been a slight disappointment as their power numbers have been down across the board. However, Scott Rolen is hitting .332 and Marco Scutaro has been a very key contributor to this teams success. On the mound tonight for Toronto is Scott Richmond who’s stat line show a 5-4 record with a 3.79 ERA. Folks, don’t be fooled. He is better on the road then at home as his home numbers show a 2-2 record with an ERA of 4.22. In his two June starts and spot relief appearances, he is 1-2 with a 4.67 ERA. He got lit up out of the bullpen when facing Washington and pitched just okay against Atlanta. He did pitch very well against Philly but don’t put to much merit into that. Look for the kid to get hit hard today.
Haimo’s Hot Notes: The Reds are 2-6 in their last eight games as an underdog. They are 1-4 in their last five games. The Blue Jays are 22-13 at home this season. The OVER is 7-3 in the last 10 Jays’ games. You have two pitchers who are very hittable and a Jays team who has scored runs in bunches of late. The total is set at 8.5 which I feel is a lock. Look for a final of 6-4 Toronto.
