Bruiser’s Bet: Blue Jays Will Get it Done on Canada’s 140th B-Day

There is nothing better than a Sunday in June where there is a full slate of games to pick from. There are a lot of good match-ups today and a lot of opportunities to cash in on these games. I look to move my record (167-122-2 over my last 291) in a positive direction as we play a lot of games today looking to sweep the day and win some big money. There is not time to waste so let’s win some cash.

Today I look at the Match-Up between the Toronto Blue Jays and the Seattle Mariners

1. Canada is 140 yrs old Today.
Toronto is 4-4 on July 1 since 1999 and has won the last three games played on the national holiday. During these three contests the Blue Jays have outscored opponents 34-4. It’s always nice to win on your nations B-Day and I don’t see anything stopping them tonight.

2. Marcum has Been on the Mark.
Shaun Marcum once again hopes for some more run support when he takes the ball on Sunday. Marcum has a .194 opponent batting average and a 1.96 ERA in his last six starts, but is only 2-0 in those games. He has received one run or less of support in four of those outings, and on Tuesday he gave up one run, six hits and one walk in a season-high eight innings against Minnesota, but was denied a win, as Toronto lost 2-1 in 12 innings. The bats should come alive tonight for Marcum.
