Another tough extra innings loss with the Jays losing in 12 innings by a score of 2-1.Two picks for Sunday plus a system pick:
(8:05 ET) Boston Red Sox @ New York Yankees: OVER 9 Runs 1.94
(Doubront vs Nova)
Felix Doubront (L) will head to the mound to take on the Yankees in an attempt to even the four game series at two games. Felix is 1-1 on the season and currently has a 9.00 ERA, a .410 OPB and a 2.00 WHIP. Felix gave up 5 earned runs and 6 hits in 2.2 innings against Texas on April.8th, and in his start prior to that on April 3rd against Baltimore, Doubront gave up 6 hits and 3 earned runs in 5.1 innings pitched. Ivan Nova is expected to take the mound for the Yankees. Ivan has also made two appearances this season, and currently maintains an 8.68 ERA, and a 2.25 WHIP. Ivan was pummeled by Baltimore on Tuesday making it through just 3.2 innings while allowing 10 hits, 7 earned runs which contributed to a final score of 14-5 for the Orioles. We should expect to see plenty of runs on Sunday in New York, take the over in this one.
(1:35 ET) Toronto Blue Jays @ Baltimore Orioles: BLUE JAYS 2.04
(Buehrle vs Jimenez)
It took 12 innings for the Orioles to get past the Jays on Sunday by a final score of 2-1. Mark Buehrle (L) will take the mound and has had two incredible performances under his belt this season, allowing just 1 earned run in 2 starts, for a combined total of 14 innings pitched. Buehrle currently has a 0.64 ERA, a 1.00 WHIP and a .259 OBP. Ubaldo Jimenez hasn’t experienced similar results, having gone 0-2 season to date with a 6.75 ERA, a .431 OBP and a 1.97 WHIP. Jimenez has pitched 10.2 innings this season and allowed 13 hits, 8 earned runs, 8 BB and 2 home runs. If Buehrle continues with his strong performance on the mound we can expect to see the Jays get by the Orioles just as they did on Friday evening.
