Play: Tampa Bay/Toronto over 8.5 -113 (Hellickson vs. Buehrle)
Time: 1:07 p.m. ET
Reasoning: Jeremy Hellickson is having a hell of a season, but he can be hit-and-miss with his starts. The Blue Jays score a half-run more per game vs. RH. They also are hitting .289 and are averaging 5.33 rpg vs. RH at home. The Rays score 0.34 more rpg vs. LH. Today they will face Mark Buehrle, who has a 1.41 WHIP this season and a 2.29 WHIP and a 6.39 ERA in his last three starts. Toronto's games average 8.88 runs and that figure jumps to 9.15 runs at Rogers Centre. Tampa Bay's relievers have a 5.17 ERA in their last five contests. Jays relievers have a 4.22 ERA on the season. Both teams feature hot hitters: (Evan Longoria: 10-fot 33 lifetime vs. Buehrle; Desmond Jennings: 8-for-19 vs. Buehrle; Jose Reyes: .397 BA over his last 15 tilts). And games called by umpire John Tumpane have averaged 8.96 runs.
