Two aces square off here when Roy Halladay takes on Gil Meche. Halladay is the reason we see Toronto favored on the road. He's 12-2 on the season with a 3.08 ERA and has actually been a bit better on the road than at home. But, his Blue Jays will be facing another very good pitcher in Gil Meche. Meche is 9-4 overall with a 3.68 ERA. But, at home, he's been at least as good as Halladay. At home Meche is 6-2 with a 2.51 ERA. And, he's 5-0 in his last nine starts overall posting a 2.65 ERA. The opportunity to get a home team with that good a starter as an underdog is rare. Seattle has the bullpen advantage when it gets late. Seattle is hot right now as they've won three straight and four of five including three wins against the Yankees and Red Sox! Toronto is an excellent team but they are much better at home than on the road. Take the hot home team here with a great pitcher as a dog.
