Toronto-Seattle 1

[bqbq]

My free pick of the day is the game between SEA Mariners and TOR Blue Jays. I will bet on the "home". At first glance, the Blue Jays Dustin McGowan has seemed to struggle of late. Not only has he lost his last three decisions, but the team has lost four straight and five of his last six starts. However, McGowan has been a pillar of consistency this season, even during this streak that has seen his club losing his starts. Overall, the young right-hander is 5-2 at home with a nice 3.45 era. Moreover, during this losing streak McGowan has not allowed more than three earned runs. In fact, he's allowed three earned runs or less in his last seven starts. Miguel Batista is also sporting his own losing streak, having dropped his last two starts. However, unlike McGowan who has still pitched well, Batista has taken a beating - allowing 14 earned runs in his last eight innings of work. Consistency is important and that's just what we get with McGowan here on Saturday. Take the Blue Jays at home.
