Love Cecil here he has a 2-0 record 1.64 ERA and 0.95 whip in his last 3 starts he's looking like the old Brett Cecil. He did it against the Rays 9th in OPS vs. LHP and 2 starts vs. the Rangers #5 in OPS vs. lhp. Now he faces the A's who are ranked 25th. He'll go up against Rich Harden who has a 5.74 ERA in his career vs. the Jays and has never been a good pitcher on turf. IN two starts last year he had 11 walks, 11 K's and 8 ER in just 5.1 IP vs. the Jays and that's very typical of Harden. He gives up home runs, strikes out a bunch and walks a bunch. Jays fit right in here that's probably why they have had so much success in their career off him. They are 6th overall in walks so I expect lots of baserunners tonight and for hte Jays to win as they are 24-8 following an off day 11-3 in their last 14 meetings at home vs. the A's. They are also 17-5 in Cecil's last 22 game 1 starts while the A's are an awful 3-10 in their last 13 rd starts vs. LH starters and 19-47 in their last 66 as a dog.
Shocker this is as in his two starts vs. the Brewers Edwin Jackson has given up 6 HR. Well how is he still a favorite. Well Marcum, hasn't been any better with 9 ER in 13 IP vs. the Cardinals in two starts this year. Those were both at home and now he makes a road start where he's been good, but the Cardinals can hit righties they are #4 in OPS in the league while the Brewers are 23rd with a .674 OPS on the road where they are just a different team. I still like Edwin Jackson's stuff and it's just unreal how good the Brewers have been at home so I'm not surprised he got blown up a bit. Cards definitely have a bullpen advantage here to and are 39-19 in their last 58 home games as a favorite.
