Today's MLB Baseball Picks:

Game: Tampa Bay at Toronto (7:05 PM Eastern)
Pick: 4 units on Toronto +110 (moneyline) (risk 4 to win 4.4)

Last year the Tampa Bay Rays surprised everyone by making it all the way to the world series. They have been good this season, but not nearly as good as a season ago. One thing that hasn't changed is they are a team that is very tough at home as the last two years sees them at 99-45 at home and this year on the road just 27-35. The Blue Jays have been a tough team at home for a longtime, compiling an above .500 record at home for five straight seasons. Scott Kazmir has battled injuries and is simply not the same pitcher we have seen in the past.  It has translated to a 1-4 mark for the Rays in his last five outings as a home favorite. Not sure if home plate umpire has something against the Rays, but they are just 4-18 in his last 22 calling balls and strikes for the Rays. I like Toronto in this one.

The Oakland A's find themselves in their worst position to win for their game in Seattle tonight. They are a poor road team that plays even worse when facing a team with a winning record as they are just 17-41 in their last 58 on the road vs a team with a winning record on the season. They are also at their worst offensively at just 4.2 runs a game facing a lefthand pitcher. The A's have compiled a 16-24 record against lefthanders for the year. The Mariners have been great in games they are supposed to win as they have turned in a 27-11 mark in their last 38 played in the role of a favorite. I like the Mariners in this one on the runline.
