Blue Victory
Only when I leave Toronto, the fun begins. In Cincinnati, where I sit in the rain, the Reds finally ended in the black against the Mets. Wednesday Blue Jays gave the boot perennial .300 hitter Shea Hillenbrand after John Gibbons, reaming him in front of the whole team. Just before the All-Star game, the manager general JP Ricciardi, the Blue Jays criticized '3, 4, and 5 hitters as the reason for the Blue Jays not in the top division.
Hillenbrand was becoming a cancer in the clubhouse, constantly complaining about his lack of playing time and the Blue Jays needed to read the Riot Act. With New York Yankees come on the scene today, this will surely affect baseball betting in all areas for which they were thinking of siding with the Blue Jays. Here's why …
The athlete of today is sport as a business and these disorders may not even make a tab. Toronto is six games back of Boston in the Eastern League and Roy Halladay will be sent to the hill against Mike Mussina. Halladay (12-2, 3.06 ERA) is emerging as a leading candidate for the Cy Young Award he won in 2003. He leads the AL in wins and is 4-0 with a 3.41 ERA in his last five starts.
The right is 6-1 with 1.61 ERA in his last seven starts against New York (55-37), including a victory on April 28 at Yankee Stadium when he gave up seven hits in 5 1-3 scoreless innings in the victory 7-2.
Two Yankees who have fought hard against Halladay is A-Rod and Jason Giambi. Rodriguez is 2-14 since 2003 and Giambi is hitting just .250 in his career. On the positive side of pinstipers is Johnny Damon, who is 14-40.
Halladay also unbeaten in his last eight starts at home going 6-0 with a 2.93 ERA.
This is the first of 14 remaining meetings between the rivals League East after New York won three of the top five. Toronto trails the Yankees by four games for second place in the division. The Yankees are 1 1 / 2 games behind the East Boston.
Mussina (11-3, 3.30) has already achieved two victories posting two consecutive digits for the year 15. He is 3-0 with an ERA of 2.74 in his last four starts for the Yankees.
The veteran right-hander is 2-0 with an 1.35 ERA in two starts against Toronto (52-42) this season. Also is 5-2 with an 3.67 ERA in his last eight starts at the Rogers Center.
If Bets sports is your thing, call your sports betting premises and seize the Yankees as a dog!
