At 7:05pm our complimentary selection is on the Toronto Blue Jays over the Los Angeles Angels. For most of the first two months of the season, the Toronto bullpen has been pretty reliable in securing wins for Jays ace Roy Halladay as evidenced by his eight wins in his first nine starts, only one of which was a complete game. But such was not the case in Halladay''s last start when he left with what seemed to be a safe five-run lead only to have his relievers blow it. That game was at Baltimore and part of an Oriole sweep of Toronto and you can expect that, if Halladay can take a lead in this game at home against the Angels, things will be different. It won''t be easy as Joe Saunders has himself been pitching pretty well lately, but other than a nine-run outburst on Sunday, Los Angeles hasn''t exactly been lighting up the scoreboard. In four career starts against the Jays, Saunders is 1-2 with a 3.62 ERA, and although those numbers aren''t too bad, the lefthander usually hasn''t had to face one of the best starters in the game. Tonight he does, however. and he has to face him in a place that has been very tough for visiting teams this season as Toronto is 18-7 at home, which is the best home record in the American League. The Angels are 4-9 in their last 13 games in Toronto. Take the Blue Jays. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.
