The set-up: Toronto hasn't put up much of a fight in this series. The Jays are struggling at the plate and I think that trend continues here in another difficult matchup on the mound for them. The visitors hand the ball to Trent Thornton, while the home side goes with Brad Peacock.

The pitchers: Thornton (1-5, 4.78 ERA) suffered a loss in Baltimore last time out, allowing three runs over five innings.

Peacock (6-3, 3.42) enters on top form, going 4-1 with a 2.01 ERA and 45 K's vs. 12 walks over his last seven starts spanning 40 1/3's frames of work.

The pick: Take it for what you will as well, but Toronto has seen the total go under the number in seven of its last ten road games following a two games or longer losing streak, while Houston has seen the total dip under in eight of 12 already this season as a home favorite in the -150 to -200 range. This number is high.
